Still hilarious!

How many miles are on it? My car burned about 1/2 a quart in the first few hundred miles. It's a Z06 and not a 370Z, but rings do the same thing in the LS7 that they do in the VQ. Smoked up the tail-pipes pretty good. Now that the rings are all sealed up, it hasn't used a visible amount on the dipstick in 2500 miles and the pipes shine even after long drives.

Is your car broken in yet?

I have about 4,500 miles on the car now and it uses about one and a quarter quarts per 3,000 miles.

I would pull all the aftermaket stuff off and take it to the dealer for an oil consumption test. You may get a new engine out of the deal.

When you talk about a engine "using" oil... to me, it is in the context of something unacceptable.

Sure engines USE oil, but one and a quarter qrts per 3000 miles isn't within reason. That is a lot.

My engine may consume less than a 1/4th qrt every oil change which is about 4000 miles.

Well after having a short block replacement done to my Z, I have been keeping a close eye on it. I still believe there is a problem with the heads as I'm still consuming oil. So after bringing it back I now have been told by a Nissan rep that 1 quart per 1,000 miles is acceptable! NO WAY, so after 2,000 miles of break-in (lol) I intend to document every 500 miles and if continues to consume oil I will be going back and demand a long block or lemon law. The mods that are on my car are the same as with the first engine and Nissan had no problem with them. It was also suggested that I go with 5-40 oil and add BG additive. Can anyone tell me what the original TSB list for max consumption.
