Oil Maintenance warning

AlanManouk · 09-25-2012, 09:36 PM

Each time I turn on my z the orange screen displays an oil filter and when I click next it shows a picture of something that says oil. I got a oil change about two months ago and 1000 miles ago. The dealer told me they used synthetic oil. I was wondering what the cause of this problem is and what I should do.

I will suggest you OPEN your Owners Manuel. There is really allot of info in that book.

There's nothing to worry about but you need to reset the oil interval setting
You could also look in the owners manual if you need additional help

Tada!

They probably just forgot to reset it.

Go to the ugly-a@@ gauge on the left to change/reset the interval. This is nothing magical, it's user-set.
Don't worry, I freaked out the first time that I saw it about six months ago. No one had ever set it before this new dealer that I went to. I was downshifting and the light went off. Once I figured it out, I felt like the complete dope that I was/am.

I was down six quarts from 0 - 2900 miles. Had I not checked I'd of received a new crated engine. Instead I discovered I was down my first quart at 485 miles. For my diligence I got to reuse my heads on top of a new short block.

At 13,600 miles I still use oil so I will begin another oil consumption test soon.

When did the first motor get replaced, ie: month and year?
