My engine..... 9500 miles..... oil consumption..... NIL!! Yes, it did use quite a bit of oil during the first 5 or 6 thousand miles. But now..... NOTHING. A B S O L U T E L Y N O R M A L !



(WOW)
Your engine is still young dude. Mine didn't start drinking too much oil until about 15k miles. I am at 17,700 and going through 2 quarts every 3k miles. Just because your engine is acting normal now doesn't mean there is no problem with any other 370Z engine on the face of the earth.
