You don't want to roll the car when it's below 40 anyway. Your tires are not going to get permanent flat spots anyway, unless they're very under-inflated, and even then you can work them out just by over-inflating (max cold pressure listed on the sidewall) and getting the tires hot.

It's not a big deal. Stop worrying about it. Your car will be fine.

dat's good to hear. im also happy to report my 370Z did not burn any oil... at all in 2015 with 18k+ miles.

first year was about 1/2 quart i added.
2nd-5th year maybe 1/4 quart.
6th year no drop in oil.

so i think the engine is ready for full synthetic.

I change the engine oil every 6000km, that's about every 10 weeks...

so far for the 4 years of ownership... I don't experience burning engine oil... otherwise the mechanic would have told me, or I will notice it when we are draining the old/used oil...

my next maintenance will be spark-plugs, the Z has more than 100k km already and I think it's about time....

any suggestion? I am thinking staying with NGK....

plugs i would use NGK for sure. as for oil burning, it's pretty normal on these VQ engines. my G did it too the first couple of years, completely stopped after about the 4th yr of ownership. unless u need to add like over a quart between the oil change intervals, probably considered normal and ur tech would not say much about it.
