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.

My state has lemon laws but I am wondering if there is someone out there who had to turn theirs back in. Was it easy or did they try to make you keep the car?

Thanks,

This is where the warranty steps in lifetime

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.

We've been

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.
