+1. I have seen garages with enough slope (usually toward a center drain) to make a (slight) difference but if it looks level it shouldn't be a problem.

The dipstick is reading from the front of the oil res. not the middle where it wouldn't make as much difference.

Sooooo, I found out some info today

Yes the powertrain warranty is still good, and will be for some time. The car has never had either of two recalls performed (I can only find info on one) according to the service chick and the car has never been serviced with Nissan.

Dropping it off Wed, and they will also do a complimentary oil change to start logging any OC every 1000miles. Along with the 20kmile service. Girl was very friendly and didn't try to beat around any foliage. We filed out a few pieces of paper, gave me copies, and said they would start to look into the OC. She actually asked me how much I thought was acceptable to burn off...? I just told her I don't want to smell it inside the car again. If its burning we will find it and how much.
