call nna if they deny based on you being only 500miles past the interval, but next time change the oil.

:iagree:

An 8K OCI cause the engine to $hit the bed? I don't think so... shame on Nissan.

so i called back to talk to them and i was wrong on the miles, im at 10k since my last oil change documented by them. No idea how i never realized.... im still in shock and have no idea what to do

Yikes.....10k since oil change?? how often were you checking it, if at all??
that sucks....I hope it works out for you.

If you are going to have to foot the bill might be better off having a shop rebuild your motor, or you could see if you can get one pulled from a yard, that way no one will actually have to take the motor apart. Something like this Nissan 370Z or G37 VQ37VHR Complete Engine Only 105 Miles | eBay

Motor blown: Need options
 

So after a month of waiting for nissan to tell me whats going on with my car long story short they claim: "Something internally is wrong" (this is what 4 weeks of diagnostics get you) and they wont be covering with warranty because i am slightly over on since my last oil change.

So here i am with a broken nissan which i am still paying on.

Need options on what to do

Have nissan fix? around 10k i believe

have 3rd party shop fix? not sure price

buy used motor and make it a winter project (will require help from friends or anyone)


i really am speechless as i just got off the phone.

No idea how i am going to pay for any of this but need to figure something out.

Thanks in advance sorry for rant

I have been there to man and it really sucks to go through something like this so I am very sorry for the terrible news. I also debated on having a shop rebuild my blown motor but in the end I found it much easier and faster to have the dealer drop a used motor in which cost me around $5700 labor and tax in. The engine the dealer found me only had 15K miles but I installed my Stillen SC and has been solid ever since.

I now have an extra engine I may build off of once my funds are back up but I found this to be the best route after my 2013 G37 coupe engine gave out after only 15K miles. My situation was different because I had Forced Induction and a very bad tune that cause detonation within a week but I have already been down that road and don't ever want to go through that again. GL to you man!

BTW! Have you tried to contact Nissan Consumer Affairs? Worth a shot.

I have, they said unless i can provide a receipt of an oil change within that 2k miles i am hosed.

What i dont like mostly was how dealer treated me... i had to call after 4 weeks gave no info and now they just said something internally is wrong. There is noooo way i am paying them for diags if they just tell me something internally is wrong.

thats not to bad 5k...

how you like stillen any pics of car?

I've been there... I couldn't talk when I was given the quote of 10k...

PM me, let's talk

Wait...they are claiming that you broke your car by not doing an oil change? That is shitty.

Worst feeling ever. No lights or anything was on.

Wtf? Man i feel bad for u. Just buy a used engine from crashed cars and drop it in ur self save hella $ but no warranty, with 10k buys u warranty ur choice, me personally i would just buy n drop it in my self.

You could always buy this one: http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...le-bodies.html. Build it and drop it in. Problem solved. All depends on your budget.

Yeah not bad at all. Here is my G37

Long read but my whole story on the engine failure is all well documented.

Hope you get through this man. Just a bump in the road, it will be alright.

I wouldnt throw in the towel too quickly. I would contact Nissan corporate and battle it out a little bit. Unless it ran out of oil, the oil change didnt cause it. I go 5000 miles between most my oil changes and my car is heavily modified, over 60k, no problems.
