We have one of the best dealers here. Baker Nissan. Hopefully they can help. Do dealers provide rental cars in these cases??

Yes...if its warranty work I'm sure the guys will give you a loaner.

Waiz · 02-24-2012, 08:46 PM

Yeah that's not good if it took that much oil, something definitely went wrong.

They should provide you a loaner if not make sure and talk to the Service Manager or dealer GM.

Gah I just changed the oil not too long ago, this shouldn't have happened. Dropped in a new filter and 5.5 quarts of Mobil1 5W-30 just like always.

did u use the copper washer? If you did the oil change and they found out it leaked from the drain plug/oil filter then you're screwed.. I hope you can get it fixed!

Did noticed oil spots where you normally park? that would have been a clue that maybe their was a leak

If that was the case

Just used what we used before. Haven't seen any leaks of any sort where I park. The plastic thing is dry too.

5qts to fill it up? you drove on empty man..

Gixxer-370Z · 02-24-2012, 08:53 PM

Gezzz....If its owner error they won't cover it under warranty. This is why BAKER does my oil changes and anything else I need. Everything is on them and they have all the records.

Yeah but oil changes aren't rocket science. This wasn't me....
It's simple. Drain > New Filter > Fill

Plus I don't have any mods that they can void a warranty or anything over. Just HPS tubes and a catback.

Did you do it yourself or did you have someone else do it?

I did it. I've almost always done my own oil for the past 8 years. NEVER had this happen before.

ooooh...hopefully it's something warranty-able, or you can get it fixed. if you needed 5 quarts of oil, your engine is gonna be very beat up. good luck...
