Meaning... if you have it, you are going to face major engine work and weeks if not months without your Z. I'm only asking because I want to do the right thing with my new car.
This was meant to be a heads up to any unsuspecting person who buys a 2009, nothing more. Checking your oil doesn't necessarily protect you from the problem but it may prevent many future headaches. As you wrote...it could be MONTHS without your Z if it requires a long block replacement.
