DIY: 370z Oil Galley

RanRich

So I wasn't aware of this issue before a week or so ago, but since I have a late 2009 model I'm concerned about a possible failure.

The car has 94,000 on the clock and I haven't noticed any issues (neither has Blackstone, who I send my oil off to after each change) but is there a place where I could enter my VIN and determine if I'm at risk or not?

Get yourself an oil pressure gauge that goes to 150. The only way you know when the gasket goes. Is low oil pressure. You have an 09. Yeah you are not out of the woods.

Many thanks for the heads up, I'll get on that. Is there a typical mileage range for this failure?

I'm terrified of this happening now. Definitely don't have the tools/talent/time to DIY so surely it would be several hundred in labor beyond the $60 kit from EPS...

This is no rhyme or reason as to if and when they fail. They may last forever or fail in 10 minutes.

have Nissan come out with an improved version of the gaskets or this is just another CSC type of problem.
