Default My Z is out of commission

So took my Z back to the dealership today to follow up on my car burning up oil so quick. After waiting for a while Nick comes up to me with a serious face and asks if I need anything out of my car. I was like "just my CDs why?" He tells me that I have a rental car waiting for me outside due to a serious engine oil consumption problem and that it's rare to see it in 370Zs Then explains that they are gonna have to rebuild my engine. So for now i'm driving around in a rental Ford Fusion.

At least be glad warranty will cover it and It's getting fixed on them.

Sucks to hear nonetheless

So they replace the engines in the 350s with this problem, but they are just going to rebuild you 370?

I would raise holy hell and put a chunk under it. That is B.S. dude.

Not good. It is not rare for oil consumption in the 370Z, as your tech stated. Also, per the TSB, they owe you a short block, not a rebuild.

TSB for oil consumption on the VQ37VHR.

Oh no, I have heard of this happening with another member before but he didn't get it fixed

Hang in there and keep an eye on it after you get it back, these things have a way of coming back if they don't do it properly

yah he said it was rare due to them only having an engine oil consumption problem on one 350z that they had to deal with. Thanks for the info bro
