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

Just to throw my data in here: I never experienced any oil burning (at least not enough for me to notice) on my factory fill, the first batch of oil I put in (also Nissan Ester), the first batch of Motul I put in, or this most recent batch of Motul (when I added the cooler and pan spacer).

I was a *little* bit low this time around when I changed my oil today. We're talking, it moved from just under the H dot to about perfectly in the middle over the course of 2,150 miles (this was from 7K to 9150). However, I already spotted the likely cause of most of that. I have a very tiny leak at the oil pan gasket (the one I recently replaced myself, so that's not unusual for me) that was seeping out barely enough to make a small stain on the undercover. I'm just going to live with it for now and fix it at the next change.

In summary, no noticeable oil consumption from my engine so far.
