| Description of the problem | I own a anniversary m/t edition 2005' nissan 350z. I am having a oil consumption issue w/ the vehicle. I ran the car for 3,000 miles and when i brought it in for the next oil change after i bought the car it was down to only, 1/2 of a quart of oil in the engine. There was never any indication of the oil being low in the cockpit. The motor did start making noise so i stopped running it and brought it straight to the shop where they informed me of the 1/2 quart of oil only in the engine. I started a report w/ torrance, ca nissan. They started a oil consumption test. I lost 3/4 of a quart within the first 1000 miles. I have to go back again after the next 1,000 miles. This is not moral. They have a bad product. |
