09 370z engine sputtering while accelerating

sorry im late to the party but it seems that if the 09's are just a little low on oil,(1/2 qt in my case with the puralator oil filter) it will do this sputtering.keep it topped off and problem solved.i initially thought it was the maf's and map sensor but nope,low oil was the culprit on my 09 with 61k on the clock.

How would being a half quart low directly cause any type of sputtering? Sounds like a fuel/ignition issue to me.

370ZGirl, can you give us an update on this?
