New 14 370z low oil 3,000k

Akurei · 05-10-2014, 08:01 PM

It doesnt seem like a big issue as the car is running fine. What motor doesnt make a little noise on top of that. Not any strong noises coming from the motor, just the intitial start up ticking then goes away.

That out of the way, i shouldve checked it sooner but i figured they atleast check their new cars. But at 3,000 miles right now, i checked my dipstick and the oil is leveled right below the bottom circle but above the L for Low sign. It took a full quart spilling maybe 20% without a funnel (yeah that was fun), to bring it back up to the top circle below the H for Hihg i guess sign.

Is this something I should bring up to the dealership or does Z's burn a little oil? No smoking at the tailpipe but i do notice they run hot. Mine got as far as 220F in 70-80°F weather.

This was checked on the straightest leveled road i could find.

Is the oil in your Z the original one from factory? If so, then they do consume during break in from what I have read on here.

That seems about right for a new baby. Go ahead and change that diff oil!

Whew, was kinda trippin out. Hopefully being low on oil didnt effect anything.

What kind of diff oil your recommend?
