Assuming the sensor or light failed and the failure of the oil pressure sensor or light was Nissan's fault, are they responsible for your engine running out of oil if losing that oil was the result of negligence by some third party?
i changed my oil every 4000 miles did everything in the book its not my fault the oil light didnt come upp i have pappers to prove my oilchanges. it iss indeed nissans fault not mine ...but even when they give me a new engine im goin to get a lemon lawyer ...who knws what other defects this car hass

I believe you have a case, but not necessarily against Nissan. You may be able to show that not enough oil was put in at your last oil change. Based on the various comments from folks here who know what they are talking about, it is highly unlikely that your engine lost 5 full quarts in 3 months with no outward signs. The likely culprit is too little oil was put in after the change. If this is the case, your beef is with your oil change place.
