What 370Z years are affected by this gasket issue? All years or just a subset? Thanks.

There was a discussion about it here :

Low oil pressure!

If I'm not mistaken, the model before 2013 were affected. The best way to see this, is to add an oil pressure gauge.

There is a DIY for the gauge as well as the gallery gasket.

Rusty mentionned that he wanted to replace it in 2018. @Rusty : Did you do it since then ? Oil pump as well ?

I have a Sucker Punch oil pump and ESP gaskets sitting on a shelf. My oil pressure is still good at an idle. 37 psi.

Should I hold off on the gaskets then? I dont have an oil pressure gauge installed, but the car still feels good when I drive it. Have no plans on boosting.

I would check the oil pressure before doing anything. Installing a gauge is a fun project or you could check the pressure with an external one. This is what I have in my tool box that works well...

I have a 2013 and had also read I shouldn’t have the problematic gaskets. That said, I’m at 88k and plan to boost, so this might be a good low cost option to avoid the pain of installing yet another gauge.

I have a 2012 370 that has been supercharged for 10k miles making 543whp. I have 78k miles on the motor and no issues.
