370Z oil consumption

zilent_jay

So it looks as if the OIL SPEWING issue was a result of a damaged part, probably in shipping/installation of the replacement longblock. I think he called it a intake valve timing solenoid... it sits right there on the front of the engine... they actually let me in the shop (thought that was an insurance liability, but I'm not complaining).... every time the guy revved the engine oil would shoot out.... directly onto the belt.... which in turn flung oil everywhere... even the inside of my tires are coated in oil along with the entire engine bay...

The guys at the service department have been really great in taking care of me.... not a single complaint there. But... that doesn't change the fact my car ONCE AGAIN.... is sitting at a ******* dealership with no part availability and no ETA while I'm making payments on a $35,000 PAPERWEIGHT.

Irritated.

Sorry to hear about your oil issues Zilent_Jay I hope they get it back to you completely fixed in a timely manner.

I posted earlier that my Z also consumes what some would say is a ok amount of oil 1qt 3-4k. So I decided to check my 2008 Trail Blazer SS (LS2 Corvette motor) and guess what seems to have lost a 1qt it has been 4k miles since the last oil change. So got the oil changed yesterday and transmission fluid it just hit 50k miles. I will be watching the TBSS now to ensure it has the proper amount of oil in it at all times. I did some more searching and it’s not uncommon for the LS2 engines to consume 1qt every 3-5k or so. And people have suggested if you really get on your vehicle a lot then you can bet it will consume a bit of oil. I wonder if the high compression of these engines has something to do with it. Or it is possible every car I owned consumed some oil just never checked those vehicles to know if that was the case.
