My bad guys lol I was visualizing the dipstick TOTALLY wrong as I usually read it based on the location I visibly see rather than the H and L markings.

when you check the oil on a cold engine, or 10 minutes after you turn off the warm engine, what is considered too low? Right now im exactly between the H and L after the 10 minute turn off and wait... Getting an oil change thursday but dont know if i should mention to dealer to check for oil issue since its an early '09

Please don't rely on the low oil pressure light as an indicator for oil level (yes, people who are intimidated by the complex engineering of new vehicles do this). I believe that oil consumption is a very serious issue with the 09-June10 370Z, while some may take this lightly I can understand where they are coming from. However, if only a handful of people watch their oil level more often it will increase their engine life...MY WORK IS DONE!
