370 overheated/no oil

Can't be the place that changed the oil because like he said, it was 3 months ago. Even if they only put 3 qts in I think he/the car would have noticed this before now.

Can't be the fill cap because if the oil came out that way...well think Gulf of Mexico...

If the old gasket was still on the filter it should have been and still should be obvious as well. Depend on where he parks it I guess.

either way, I'm not sure I believe that the car was completely empty and I'd also be pointing the finger at Nissan due to the fact that the oil light never came on. I mean come on, even if he doesn't check the dip stick, that light is there for a reason and if it's not working properly then it's just like anything else in the car....What if the airbag was not working and the light never came on. or the ABS light... I would do like someone else said and have the car taken to another dealer or mechanic because if there really was no oil in the car, then while yes, it may be PARTLY your fault for not checking it regularly, I'd still put 90% of the blame on Nissan for A) having a leak someplace and B) the oil light never coming on.

As for his spelling....holy crap. I'm in agreement with some of the others. First of all it's simple english. There, Their, whole, hole, And, car...if you're being lazy and trying to save time by not putting the "A" in the word "and" and the "G" in the word "going" then why waste your time by adding an extra "r" to the word "car" and an extra "o" in the word "so".

I can't spell to save my life but come on....
