Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Dirty gritty drained oil when I did the oil change today

Well, it turns out that the oil light that I got earlier today was from my preset oil change reminder, NOT low oil.....lol.

I got in the car again after work and the damn light was still on. I'm like, "How is that possible? I topped off at lunch." I looked under the car and didn't see any oil on the ground.

See, I did my oil change a few hundred miles before the reminder and completely forget to reset it.

However, the oil level was a little low, so I added about .5 quart. Which still indicates to me that it may be consuming more oil than it should BUT at least it's not as drastic as I thought.
