Have the dealership do an oil consumption test. My car failed the test in august. Their is a technical service bulletin about this oil problem. I had the short block of my engine replaced as a result. Don't worry, all covered under warranty.

I think in this situation he is way past that (Engine is shot) He is getting a new engine anyways he said.

Why not? It's free? And it will take less time for an engine swap... The Nissan book says 13.2 hours I think...
On another note, just checked my oil. Damn car hasn't used a drop of oil in 1500 miles, it's EXACTLY the same... I guess no new engine for me... |
