TSB for oil consumption on the VQ37VHR.

Does the chances of Nissan replacing your motor due to consumption go away once your warranty is up?

The drivetrain warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles. If it's a recall, Nissan covers it, but not TSB's.

Like CMike mentioned, the TSB is just a Technical Service Bulletin meant to instruct service techs and dealers how to deal with a problem identified on certain makes and models of vehicles.

It's not a recall- the dealership is not required to service your vehicle beyond the stated warranty regardless of whether or not a TSB has been issued, unfortunately.

So to be clear, Nissan is on the hook for the Oil Consumtion TBS during/until the 5 year/60000 mile warranty expires?

Nissan is on the hook for any kind of issue with your engine and transmission (excluding wear and tear items like the clutch) until 5 years/60k miles.

This includes oil consumption. The TSB is just an instruction manual for dealers that is supplied by corporate to help them through the process.

The existence of a TSB doesn't effect your warranty either way. It only helps in the way that Nissan has acknowledged that there is a problem common enough that dealers should be aware of the proper procedures to follow in the event of service visit by the owner that pertains to the problem in question.



.. rather than type all of that, I guess I could have just said "yes"

Thanks. I do appreciate you going above and beyond "yes"

I spoke with my local dealer today. I'm scheduled to start the testing procedure tomorrow. My oil has gone from high to low in approximately 3000 miles. I currently have 10000 miles on the car.
