2009 with 24,000 miles on it. After 1000 miles on a fresh oil change I took the car in to get it measured. Oil dropped 9 mm. This was not enough to be consider "not normal" Today I took it in with 2,300 miles on the oil. The level dropped 18mm. This was enough to warrant a new engine. The dealer just called me up to tell me. No hassle what so ever, they didnt even ask to see a history of oil change receipts.


Hey there ummie,

My 2009 370Z stopped running yesterday and I brought it in to the shop and they told me that there is internal engine damage due to running out of oil. I just had 5 qts of synthetic put in about 4000 miles ago. There's practically none left in the engine. They want to consider replacing my engine and I don't know if it'll be covered under warranty. Did you talk to Nissan direct or to the dealer?
