Z Owners, check your oil, post mileage and how far "down" it is...

Don't do it, I regret buying the car more and more. The car just sits now because Nissan cannot fix the high pitch noise in the cabin and claiming it's NORMAL yet when I drive another car on the lot the noise isn't there.

I have this high pitch noise in the cabin as well. Mine is not really that loud but it is there. I don’t remember it being there when I bought it either. I drive my car a lot commuting back and forth to work so I have 17,065 miles already.

I am also concerned about the oil consumption. I got my oil changed 12,800. I checked the oil at 16,800 or 3.5k since my last oil change and it was at the L. Based on this it looks like my 370z is consuming 1 quart every 3,000 – 3,500 miles. My car is past the break in period and is still consuming oil.

I just had an oil change at 17,035, I usually get it done every 4000 miles with (Nissan Ester Oil) but will start doing it every 3000 miles . I always check the oil after the change and make sure it is at the H on the dip stick or full. I will monitor this oil change to see if the Z is still consuming oil.
