I've been reading a lot about the gallery gaskets failing and causing low oil pressure, which could potentially lead to engine failure.

My 2012 370Z was manufactured in 12/2011 and I'm not sure if anyone knows if this car would have the upgraded metal gaskets of the newer models or the paper gaskets which were prone to failure.

Right now my car has no symptoms related to this, but I'm currently approaching 150k miles on the car (within 50 miles) and am concerned that these might need to be replaced preventatively.

Would you guys call the Nissan dealer and schedule this service or wait until experiencing symptoms? Also if anyone knows the exact models with the upgraded gaskets that would be great, as my car seems to be right on the cusp of the changeover.
