I was like "just my CDs why?" He tells me that I have a rental car waiting for me outside due to a serious engine oil consumption problem and that it's rare to see it in 370Zs Then explains that they are gonna have to rebuild my engine. So for now i'm driving around in a rental Ford Fusion.
Not good. It is not rare for oil consumption in the 370Z, as your tech stated. Also, per the TSB, they owe you a short block, not a rebuild.

TSB for oil consumption on the VQ37VHR.

yah he said it was rare due to them only having an engine oil consumption problem on one 350z that they had to deal with. Thanks for the info bro
