Z Owners, check your oil, post mileage and how far "down" it is...

I own an '04.5 Touring Coupe and, after owning her for a year and ten months, I've only had to top it off twice between changes, which I do annually, since I only put anywhere from 6,000 to 7,500k on her per year. Greetings!

Good luck Man! I have my new engine and it looks brand new.

Before going to the dealer, you should probably take out your cooler to eliminate any issues with Nissan. I never had one so less complicated for me.

Update on your oil consumption issue?

I have this high pitch noise in the cabin as well. Mine is not really that loud but it is there. I don’t remember it being there when I bought it either. I drive my car a lot commuting back and forth to work so I have 17,065 miles already.

I am also concerned about the oil consumption. I got my oil changed 12,800. I checked the oil at 16,800 or 3.5k since my last oil change and it was at the L. Based on this it looks like my 370z is consuming 1 quart every 3,000 – 3,500 miles. My car is past the break in period and is still consuming oil.

I just had an oil change at 17,035, I usually get it done every 4000 miles with (Nissan Ester Oil) but will start doing it every 3000 miles . I always check the oil after the change and make sure it is at the H on the dip stick or full. I will monitor this oil change to see if the Z is still consuming oil.

Do check your oil. I was down 3/4 quarts at 485 miles when I first added oil. At 2500 miles, 4 quarts have been added, and scheduled for a new short block.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst comments ever. A new car should not burn any oil.
