Horror !!!

370zbob

So washed the z yesterday , after , do the normal checks and found that the oil was below the low on the stick .
Just did an oil change about 2700k ago .
So I drove down to performance Nissan and had a chat with the service department and , well u all know the deal with these guys .
Had to drop off ma baby for them to check the car over .
Returned to pick it up and was told to bring it back in 1000k .
It's starting to look like I might need to get a new block
Will keep posting the out come .

Is your engine showing signs of failure, or just oil consumption?

Good luck with the oil consumption test.

I was one of the unlucky ones who had an oil thirsty engine. Dealer was great getting a new engine.

Engine is fine , did a compression test , all even in the cylinders , just oil loss , have owned lots of the awesome nissans , even the Godzilla cars and never had this problem .
Well will find out in 1000k .

I can only suggest to just keep an eye out on the oil level

so you won't have a nasty surprise of running it with NO oil

WOW! 2,700,000 miles between oil changes. You drive alot. J/K. Anyway, being down a quart after 2700 miles is nothing to worry about. When you start adding a quart every 1000 miles or less you should be concerned. This is the automotive industry standard of oil consumption before a flag is raised. Anyone can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.

was the engine cold when you checked the oil level? it needs to be warm!run the car til its at a normal operating temp then turned off for a few minutes to let the oil settle, then check it.

Is that different on the 370? I'm not sure it matters for engine oil, just AT oil.

All vehicles should be as follows:

AT Fluid:
Engine running and warm, transmission in neutral, on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Pull dip stick, wipe, re-insert, pull out and read.

Engine oil:
Engine off but still warm, parked on a level surface. Pull dip stick, wipe, re-insert, pull out and read.

The reason you want to wipe the dip stick and then re-insert before reading is to avoid it reading higher than the oil/fluid actually is. Between all the moving parts and the motion from driving, it's common for oil or fluid to end up much higher on the dip stick than it really is.
