So let me see..... after this happened once, You're STILL not checking your oil?...I see.

As to the "special" engine, I think you're being shined on there....

New engine to address oil burning in MT Z's - seriously? That sounds like smoke.

The MT Z and the MT G37 would both have the same issue, and why would the MT need a different engine, than the 7AT?

mine doesnt burn a drop of oil :\ it does sound like a big smoke screen lol kannibul is right.

But only if it has a 6MT.

The 7AT gets a Twin Turbo W12 that runs on Unicorn Blood.
