  I would not be so sure about that....... if it were anything other than a Z or GTR, then i would JUMP at the free oil change for life.......... most likely they use regular oil.......... unless, if you had verified with your own eyes already.... hope you get the issue resolved in one way or the other.... perhaps, it is not a big issue......... but, i bet no one on this forum would feel ok with it..... for it is a $40k new car.. if i were you, i would take it to the dealer 3 threes, get the paper work ready, and claim lemon...... i had put in a new engine in my toyota avalon, but it is not the same..... |

I'm sorry...Claim lemon for what? The OP has used 1/4 qt. in 1000 miles per his consumption test. That's hardly a justification for a buyback.. |

 perhaps, i have misunderstood, but OP did say "checked the dipstick, it is about 3/4 after 1000 miles." 3/4 on the dipstick in just 1000 miles........ correct me if i am wrong....... i would not make the comment on the rate of consumption without a solid proof, but considering the fact that his dealership changes every 7500, who knows how much is left or what the repercussions without adding in every so often..... i would hate to even imagine about it... personally, for it is a new car......... i would never consider adding in additional oil as something tolerable......... just my two cents.... on the other hand, if indeed it is 1/4 qt between oil changes, it would not even be a consideration/problem..... but it so seems, solely based on speculation at this point, it is not 1/4 between oil changes... having had new car engine issues and having dealt numerous times with dealers, it might be better to go with the lemon. i think it is a win-win situation, for you do not lose anything........it is just that your claim can get rejected at worst........ |

I will get my brand new vq37vhr the next days
Nissan VQ engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia i think this is a burning in problem with low budget test drivers at dealership (i think you call it donats driving ..the bavarian have a lot of more skill, they make a prezel) without degreed engineer know-how !! how many miles your car has on the odometer when you bought it ? we will see if it is the same for me as engineer ! by the way there is a lot of linguistic know-how inside the word doughnot.. may it means -- do not
