Agree along with a real temp guage instead of volts. Knowing oil pressure and water temps in my mind is pretty important. Low oil pressure = major issues.

Pressure Guage wouldn't do it, since if it drops, you're pretty much done at that point fairly soon after...as in you you better be ready to shut it down as soon as it drops.

If you don't have one already, insist that they give you an extended warranty since you are nervous about the engine swap. They might go for it.

Nissan to get it checked out and Nissan said my car car didnt have enough oil. Nissan drained all the oil out the engine and little metal flakes was in the pan. Nissan came to a conclusion and said my engine was burning oil to fast which made the engine overheated and said thats what damage the engine. They had to replace the whole engine. I only had 2100 miles! Have happen to anyone?

i had the same exact problem nissan replaced my engine but it took them way over the estimated wait good luck
