2012 370Z burning oil

mhcoss · 10-08-2012, 04:40 AM

Thx for the replies:

To answer some questions:
Fairlady: It was almost dry... had its second oil change at 6k miles.. I noticed it at 8k.. not sure how many quarts it had been through because the oil was very dirty adn black so i just got it changed out.

Luke: Yea I know VQs are noisy drivetrains, although I have noticed a strange adulation in the exhaust lately.. could just be my imagination though.

Also, I had the first two oil changes done at a Lube-X place and found out after the second one that they put in synthetic 0w30 instead. I don't think that should cause any real issues but it worries me that Nissan may try to deny warranty coverage based on that.

sigh.. im loosing sleep over this issue. Good night fellas.
