You're on a internet forum. You must have thick skin. If you don't, then these forum are NOT for you. Also, you have to understand, we can't SEE, HEAR or TALK to you. The ONLY way we can try to draw a picture of you, is the way you type or express yourself. (that's about it!). In future, if you're going to reopen a closed topic, please come to me first. Chances are I'll reopen the previous thread.
There is a BIG hole in your story. Either a. You're NOT telling us the real story or B. You have no clue what's going on (or happened). 5 1/8 Quart of oil just doesn't disappear easily. Something must have happen at the shop you get your oil change done. Chances are they didn't put enough oil as the tech got distracted. You're 1 out of 10,000+ 370Z owners. This is why you are getting this look
from the members. I check my oil level every two weeks. Not because I drive a new car but it's my habit. EVERY single dam car I owned, I checked oil and brake fluid EVERY two weeks.

I'm not saying yea or nay, but you can add a great deal of credence to your incident by simply uploading a pic of your service sheet from the Nissan dealership (even if it's the one they gave you when you admitted your Z) so members can see it. You can also scan and blackout important data such as names, and the like, but leave enough information showing that validates your case.
Losing 5 1/8 of oil is a lot and believe me the tale-tale signs will show even if a little to the entire volume of oil leaving the engine. The tailpipe tips, and the rear bumper will exhibit signs on a slow burn and even if the rings went you would notice black smoke bellowing in your rearview mirror and someone behind you would have alerted you if you didn't. Our 370Z gets its oil checked after each drive about an hour later when it comes to rest in our garage. If you were changing your own oil you might have stripped the oil drain plug if not torque correctly or by using an air tool versus a hand tool, but the dealership can determine that too. Good luck on the outcome....hopefully, it is in your favor.

I have no sympathy. You're learning an expensive lesson for not paying attention to your Car.

If the OP was a 90 year old grandmother would you feel the same way? “You should have checked your oil level.”

There's nothing wrong with getting your oil changes at 3rd party or Nissan dealer. BUT one must check their dipstick before leaving their lot. If I was given a dime EVERY time my dealer overfilled or under filled my 350Z, I'd probably buy free lunches for the all forum members!
I usually check the dipstick and have them fix it right there then. I'm surprised not only OP NEVER checked the dipstick at the third party oil change place, he never even checked it in the 3 month period!
I'll share a story real quick. One of my friend has a Mazda 6 and she always gets the oil changed at Jiffy Lube (3rd party oil). Jiffy lube f*cks up and forgets to tighten her drain plug. Car loses all oil and engine seizes. She goes back to dealer asking for a new engine. Guess what they told her? A big NO. If your 3rd party ruins your car, THEY will pay for the damages NOT Nissan. In this case, Jiffy Lube DID end up paying for the WHOLE repair.

You have papers to prove the oil changes, that doesn't mean anything. It'll prove that you did your oil changes on time. But if their tech F*cks up, it won't be written on that invoice. So, let me get this right, the 3rd party oil change place f*cks up on their end. Nissan USA goes out of their way and give you a brand new engine. You still want to sue Nissan? wow, congratulations
. You're my NEW hero!
