What's with the low oil?

It sounds like you have a big problem alright.
Some have had oil burning issues and high oil temps also..
imho i think has a lot to do with how the car is driven.....
if you drive it like you stole all the time and never check the oil at each fill up
your asking for trouble.....

i've had some fun with my car if you can catch my drift and have never had any
problems from day one. now sitting at 25,000 miles.

I'm not saying thats what you did. But there was one guy who drove his 370
from day one until it locked up. When he had it towed in it had one quart of
oil in it. Nissan wanted 13,000 for a new motor and he acted like it was nissan's
problem... anyway good luck i hope they replace it for you............

THe crazy thing is I was able to get to the engine motor and manually see if the engine had locked up. I figured if their was engine damage it would be locked but I was able to manually turn the crankshaft (not easily but it did turn).
