You're on a internet forum. You must have thick skin. If you don't, then these forum are NOT for you. Also, you have to understand, we can't SEE, HEAR or TALK to you. The ONLY way we can try to draw a picture of you, is the way you type or express yourself. (that's about it!). In future, if you're going to reopen a closed topic, please come to me first. Chances are I'll reopen the previous thread.

There is a BIG hole in your story. Either a. You're NOT telling us the real story or B. You have no clue what's going on (or happened). 5 1/8 Quart of oil just doesn't disappear easily. Something must have happen at the shop you get your oil change done. Chances are they didn't put enough oil as the tech got distracted. You're 1 out of 10,000+ 370Z owners. This is why you are getting this look from the members. I check my oil level every two weeks. Not because I drive a new car but it's my habit. EVERY single dam car I owned, I checked oil and brake fluid EVERY two weeks.




There's nothing wrong with getting your oil changes at 3rd party or Nissan dealer. BUT one must check their dipstick before leaving their lot. If I was given a dime EVERY time my dealer overfilled or under filled my 350Z, I'd probably buy free lunches for the all forum members! I usually check the dipstick and have them fix it right there then. I'm surprised not only OP NEVER checked the dipstick at the third party oil change place, he never even checked it in the 3 month period!
I'll share a story real quick. One of my friend has a Mazda 6 and she always gets the oil changed at Jiffy Lube (3rd party oil). Jiffy lube f*cks up and forgets to tighten her drain plug. Car loses all oil and engine seizes. She goes back to dealer asking for a new engine. Guess what they told her? A big NO. If your 3rd party ruins your car, THEY will pay for the damages NOT Nissan. In this case, Jiffy Lube DID end up paying for the WHOLE repair.


You have papers to prove the oil changes, that doesn't mean anything. It'll prove that you did your oil changes on time. But if their tech F*cks up, it won't be written on that invoice. So, let me get this right, the 3rd party oil change place f*cks up on their end. Nissan USA goes out of their way and give you a brand new engine. You still want to sue Nissan? wow, congratulations . You're my NEW hero!
