TSB for oil consumption on the VQ37VHR.

It's important to get documented on your file even if they do not have a TSB yet for the 370Z. It MAY help if you ever have to Lemon Law the car, although I believe Cali Law is 18k miles to have the issue reported to manufacture. Either way they would pro rate the mileage on the car if it ever comes down to a buy back.

I would also ask the dealer to start an oil consumption test on the car and if they look at you funny....then run fast to another dealer. You should be checking your oil weekly and when it’s cold (sat over night). The dipstick High / Low hash marks are 24mm between the high mark (hole) and the low mark (hole). And the mm between the high and low marks is 24mm which equals to 1 quart.

If this issue starts to raise its ugly head on the 370Z then a new thread should be opened, because it will get long. Just look at my350z thread, it's at 219 pages. RevUp Oil Consumption TSB and discussion - MY350Z.COM Forums

They'd get taken to court unless the owner didn't want to fight over a $5k+ issue... There's no way they could prove minor bolt-ons were causing excessive oil consumption.

They have to prove the mods caused OC. Like WarmAndSCSI said.

i have heard that the Stillen G3 Long tube intakes and running test pipes make your car run lean would that cause OC to your knowledge?
