I am not talking about my dipstick being on L most of the time it was bone dry. I am talking with Nissan now on what to do. I will keep you posted.
No,he doesn't.His dip stick was half way between the L & H mark,read your manual section 8.9 about checking engine oil level.

Come on guys this is the first post by Ryan and he just joined the forum two days ago plus he hasn't replied to anyone comments. Think about it, Nissan is not going to rebuild a brand new motor without first doing an extensive oil consumption test on the car first (he says nothing about that). Even on the 350's that had oil usages problems they didn't rebuild them, they replaced the motors. Close your mouths so the hook doesn't get deeper.

My car has already had it's long block replaced at 8500 miles for high oil consumption. The new engine is no better it uses a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I am currently dealing with Nissan consumer affairs in hopes of getting a new vehicle. Can you imagine trying to sell this car with 3 engines having been in it. To add insult to injury my passenger side carpet gets wet after going thru a car wash since the motor replacement.

just saying, it would make more sense for them to replace the motor, not rebuild it.

Nissan's policy is to replace the motor, and bring the damaged/failed motor back to corporate for analysis. They don't let their dealers rebuild engines, the grease monkey's don't receive enough training.

hello fellas well i just bought a 370 nismo the engine blew at 10,200 miles the tranny went out at 14,000 the car has never drove the same my mpg went to 14 and the car makes weird noises and is definetly not what it was from the day i bought it only 3 months ago. time to park it in front of the dealership i bought it from with a giant nissan vehicles are lemons. I hope nissan isnt gonna try to bully me like they do some customers who just want their money back because they got a bad vehicle.... hey nissan its part of doing business once in a while you have a bad product and in my case i got the worst i hope nissan gives me my hard earned money back. Purchased from nissan of el cajon in ca thanks Antonio.
