MT Oil consumption failure

Aren't the Cats considered a Emission part? If so then the warranty is 8 years 80k.

Specified major emission control components
are covered for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles.

You are correct, thanks for the correction - used to be 3/50,000, but was increased to 8/80,000.

Here is the verbiage straight from the EPA notice that you posted:

There are three specified major emission control components,
covered for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use on 1995
and newer vehicles:

* Catalytic converters.

* The electronic emissions control unit or computer (ECU).

* The onboard emissions diagnostic device or computer (OBD).

I've fixed my post.

Op,
I feel your pain...

It's sad to hear that you are going through this mess and I hope everything works out with the new motor.

If I may ask, what year is your 370z?
-09?

Any 2010's with similar problems?

I think the Nissan TSB covering new short blocks for oil consumption includes 370Zs made through May of 2010.

Please tell me where I can find the TSB on oil consumption, my 09 is in the shop as we speak. It went into limp mode the other morning and the first thing I checked was the oil and it was 3 quarts low and I only have 2500 miles on it. I did mention this to the tech at Nissan and he also felt that it was excessive. I will find out more tomorrow.

I never went into limp mode, but 1.5 quarts in 1500 is the test. A little more perhaps during break in. I wish you luck, but it sounds excessive to me too.

Were you keeping your oil "Topped Off" ?
