I broke every single rule in the book during break-in and have driven it like a complete ******* since day 1.
The transmission was replaced under warranty, but the engine in my car is 100% bulletproof as far as I can tell.
Not rubbing it in, but what gives. Is there a definite cause that's been pinned down? Is it the rings leaking or valve seats?

NO one knows.
As oppose to you, I have
religiously followed the break in period restrictions for 1200 miles. My usual driving habit is pretty aggressive. I have also just crossed
26,000 miles (Synthetic oil since 3,600 miles). My Z is running fine with no oil consumption and recently got
a certification from BLACKSTONE LAB that everything is A-OK!
No one really knows what's the cause ....
