Haven't taken her out for a long drive yet. I'm being extraordinarily cautious after my little bounce off the rev limiter last Saturday.

When I checked the oil yesterday I had lost approx. 14 oz. in the 600 miles and six days since I last pulled the dipstick. Oil pressure readings seem okay, no signs of external leakage, and I'd previously replaced the oil gallery gaskets as a precautionary measure.. would appreciate any advice on what to look for.

I lost count on how many times mine has been bounced off of the rev limiter.

I just saw it... Maannnn, sucks you have to part with such a sweet Z. I understand why though. There will always be another Z out there waiting for you when you're ready.

I swapped out the non-functional side markers on my Z with ones from an '09-'15 model. They light up beautifully when the turn signals are activated. Simple mod. Cheap. Easy enough I can do it.

Good to know I haven't busted something important. Checked the oil immediately after running errands so car was warm. Still wondering where oh where all that oil disappeared to lol

The heads hold a lot. It takes a little while for the oil to drain back down. And to drip off of everything.

Previous advise applies....

I lose some oil when I run it hard. It's mostly from blow by I'm guessing since I got no leaks and no blue smoke.

I noticed on my old z after 5000 km oil started to drop slowly (i check every fuel up)

New car havent noticed that. It was a bit lower last fuel up but i think engine was still draining as it was only 1/3tank. Aslong as its above l and helow h dots we good.

I spool out the engine A LOT

I don't lose any just driving it around on the street. It take a beating to see oil loss. Only time I see it is at the 1/2 mile event. But I'm running it up 7600+(limiter set at 7800) in every gear for 50~ runs over 2 dayz using everything ARC has to offer every run.
