My 2009 370z is at the dealer as we speak for what could end up being engine damage due to the oil consumption issue. I change my car's oil religiously using synthetic. Most I've ever gone before a change is around 5k on synthetic oil. Anyways, the other day the car just cut out when accelerating from a light. It didn't stall... but it bucked like a sonofabi*ch! Felt like the gears were screwed up or something because it forced me down to what felt like 20mph or so. Managed to get the car to the dealer. They noticed the oil was low which was a complete surprise to me. They thought it was a timing valve at first but that was not the problem. Now they're replacing a sprocket? If that doesn't solve it, it sounds like the car may require some big time engine work. I showed the dealer the TSB and my car is still under powertrain warranty... but I have to say this is a complete surprise for a car that has otherwise given me no issues whatsoever!
