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....

kenchan

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.

so far the Z has been pretty solid and reliable, except one of the convertible sensor gave up couple months ago and costed me 1400 to get it fixed...

otherwise it's been nice....
