Wow -- well that would have been last on my list as an arm-chair car diagnostician based on the symptoms you mentioned.

Glad this was resolved and covered! :tup:

The diagnostic didn't pick up the code as per Nissan

What Im wondering is if this is a common problem with the 09's. I mean I didn't beat the **** out of this car, I drove it most of the time like an old man going to Sunday church and then occasionally on the weekend like a gearhead (traffic permitting). I mean did I purchase a lemon?
What I'm a bit concerned about ... Is moving forward with this car. Is this car worth holding on to as much as I love it?

There's plenty of 09s that had oil consumption issues that were fixed under warranty. Lots of results here if you search. It's not a big deal now that you've got a new motor. Stop worrying about it.

I don't see any reason to get rid of it unless you start having problems again. I would consider myself lucky to get a new engine in a 2009 model Z :tup:

Chuck .. So mainly only the 09's had oil consumption issues and not any of the later models?

Correct.

ZoroItaliano 05-30-2014 09:08 AM
So I guess that explains your weekly routine oil checks ...

No, that's just being a responsible car owner. Check the oil, fluids and tire pressures weekly. Make it a habit.

:iagree: And it's easy :tup:

ZoroItaliano 05-30-2014 12:57 PM
I'm just blown away by the frequency of checking the oil, fluids, tire pressure. Most people don't follow this

Well, you never know when something might happen. Keeping stuff maintained helps prevent something from happening. To me there's no question this should be part of the responsibility of operating a 1-3 ton vehicle on public roads. Too bad a lot of people view driving and owning a car as an inherent right without any responsibility...

This is definitely true.

Just a side note: I usually join an owners group with every car I buy. I must say that this forum has been the best forum I've ever joined. I mean the volumes of information and the helpful people on here ... There's just no comparison.
