I simply got the OC test performed (you essentially pay the dealership to change your oil and then drive it 500 miles). It showed the engine consumed about a quart in 500 miles. Once the dealership is armed with that data they must perform some additional tests to satisfy other NNA requirements (just the fact it is buring too much oil is not enough info). I do not know what those in-shop tests are but they took two days with my car to do that part. When they were done the test results then propmted NNA to authorize the dealership to replace my motor. The service writer told me the total invoice was around $7000 (I never saw the amount they were paid).
If you cannot get your dealership to do this then you should take it to another dealership and try to get them to do it. Based on my experience it is better to have the dealership handle NNA rather than you.

Nissan has released an 8 page TSB on this dated Nov 27, 2007 for the 2005-2006 350Z "Engine Oil level is low". TSB #NTB07-088 It has an official flow chart on how the dealers are supposed to handle this. If your dealer is not listening to you, have them check this TSB. It also shows the replacement engine to order AC7MZ

Thanks for the info..
My dealer has already agreed to replace the engine.. But i see guys getting $5000 back etc for all the ****ing around.. Personally i think i should be compensated. Especially if this engine drinks the go fast juice too.

He told me after talking to NNA that I should wait couple months b/c they will have a recall mid january or early feb. So in the meantime I just need to bring my car in every 500-700 miles so they can top off the oil...What does everyone think...Are they jerking me around or is it plausible. I know a lot of ppl say that a recall will never happened. Should I take any action or just wait till January/Febuary?
I was without my car for over 45 days..yes I was in a nice brand new 07 sedan..but I didnt buy an 06 sedan..I bought a 05GCoupe....I should of recieved a check for all the times I had to go the dealer for the OC checks!

So I have to drive for another 1000 miles and bring it back. The service rep told me that w/ this new bulletin they wanted to start from scratch (them being NNA). So I was like fine I'll drive again for 1000 miles and bring it in. I also talked to the service mechanic, and he said that my car will fail for sure. So for the update:
I saw the flow chart that was mentioned by Jeff earlier. It shows what steps the service ppl need to follow. I also asked for the part number. It is AC7MZA.
Well that's it for now I guess...I'll keep everyone updated as I go through all this.

The service manager at my dealer called me about 10 minutes ago and said they just released A NEW ENGINE. I asked for the part # and he said it was 10102AC7MZ. Told me he ordered one for me and it should be there shortly. FINALLY A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A TSB. Good news. It's almost been 700 miles since I started the OC tests. Looks like I won't have to deal with too much dealership BS. As soon as I get a consumption free engine, I'm boosting that *****!
