every time since the purchase, even on delivery and on the body work, all the servicing. they screwed something up and they scratch the car every time when washing, then leave a kind note not to wash the car, they leave big scuff marks.......really hard to take out.

and when they repainted the car, the paint soaked the tape and when you peel the tape off, it leaves paint residue on the car....very ugly, and the fender doesnt like up either.

Sounds as though someone did not tighten the oil drain plug properly, or maybe over tightened it (stripping the threads) as you appear to have a slow leak; might be a loosely spun on oil filter too. I'll send Jim (Beam) your way to add to your hockey watching friends.

i bet it's just loose, make them top it off, tighten it and buy you some oil degreaser for the driveway...lol

I had a massive oil leak due to very different circumstances, but have a similar observation... something we should all be very aware of... the oil level indicator warning light comes very late in the game. The oil pump on this car moves oil EXTREMELY FAST, and so if there is a significant leak, it takes very little time to empty. If you see the light, STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE immediately. Not worth losing an engine.

In addition, don't use the oil temperature as a backup indicator if you have an oil level light. When oil is low, the oil temperature sensor will be measuring the air/vacuum where the oil once was and is no longer a valid indicator of oil temp.

Re the OP's situation. I'd suggest getting under the car and taking pictures tonight... also take pictures of the oil in your driveway/garage. If this turns into a dispute, you'll be glad you have maximum documentation. Also if the damage is substantial, mind what you say on the boards, keep your identity to yourself, etc... Nissan reads. That was an issue for me. GOOD LUCK!

That really sucks!
Make sure they clean the under carriage if necessary.

Mobil 1? Good choice. It may have just saved your engine.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I don't think Nissan is to blame for this problem; of course, whoever did the oil change. Reason why there wasn't any oil warning light because I assumed you were moving constantly all the way home. This makes the oil drain slower than if you were sitting still.

I had this problem once when my oil filter o-ring was damage. I drove on the highway for about 50 miles before I noticed a faint knocking noise in the engine. So, I pulled over, turned the ignition off, and popped the hood open. Looking in the bay, I could smell burnt, but there was no smoke. I walked back and turned the ignition on. Guess what, the oil engine started flashing; but the temperature never went over half. After that, I checked underneath the car and the oil was rushing out. That was my Honda.

Anyways, the Nissan warning systems are probably like any other maker. Again, sorry to hear what happen to you and I hope everything is alright.

Edit: My bad, I see that you meant Nissan as the "Nissan dealer" not the brand.

i said 30+...it goes higher for older and more experienced workers

My techs earn 19 to 35 dollars per hour at the Audi dealer I work at based on experience and they do not have the issues that the Nissan dealer down the road has.
I had them (Nissan) install my rear cargo cover and they brought the car up and handed me the keys and the interior wasn't even reassembled!! Also there was damage on trim and illuminated "Z" kick panels (which they replaced for me afterward).
Even our porters (at Audi) would call us (on two way radio) if they saw something like that before handing the car back to a customer!
The service advisors generally do not call you back either at that dealership!
This stuff isn't allowed where I work.
A friend had a service there and got his truck back with the pollen filter hanging out and the engine cover flopping around in the engine bay.
I don't get it myself!!

That's unfortunate. I hope your motor is OK. A slow leak is the worst because its hard to notice.
I one time threaded my oil filter incorrectly and when I started the car it dumped oil all over my driveway. I obviously shut it off ASAP but cleaning up the spill and buying new oil wasn't fun.

The motor was fine though thankfully, so hopefully everything will work out with your car as well.
Good luck.

this just adds to a bad reputation for dealerships.

good thing the QA of Nissan is coming over to my place.... things have to change...well, at least in my city

Man that is such BS on what happened to you! That's why I rather do work on my Z myself. I understand free labor is a good thing, but the work quality sometimes is garbage.
