370Z oil consumption

Totus44 · 06-03-2010, 07:01 PM

My Z is at the dealer (8th day and counting) getting the replacement short block + a laundry list of other parts replaced after failing the oil consumption test. fortunately my '09 Z will essentially have a '10 engine. Mine was the first fail at my dealership. the problem started at 7500 miles. Break in was normal except the original 211 miles (those I have no idea) and by the book. During the oil consumption process, the engine scrammed once (electronic protection w/o power above 2500 rpm). No mods yet, waiting for this issue to be resolved. The tell-tale was 220-240 on the guage...before getting on the freeway. Dealer is taking their time since one more visit within 30 days of this issue and it triggers lemon law.
