Burning Oil?

Ed In Medford · 03-21-2009, 12:19 PM

Recently saw a 370z review on Yahoo Autos stating that a new 370z was burning oil at a rate of 1.5 quarts every 1000 miles. Anyone notice their Z burning any oil at all?

Where's the review so we can refute that claim?

It is currently on autos.yahoo.com under "User Reviews" for the Nissan 370Z.

it was common on the 35's & 350's but not on the G37's..... this is strange

It is a user review on yahoo auto, here is the review:

Pros
Looks Nice has more of the original look to it.
Cons
Mine seems to be burning oil

Purchased As New

The car drives fine and handles great I love it. It also uses about a 1.5 qts every 1k miles. My dealership is not helpful. I dont think mine feels like 300+ hp either. I love the car though I hope it will be ok.

At 1400 miles I added 1/2 quart. No issue as far as I'm concerned.

How many miles have you driven since the original 1400? And, has the oil level changed since you added the 1/2 quart?

375 additional and nothing measurable as yet. Just filled up today and checked.
