I just took my enthusiast 06 to the dealership for the 27,000 service and to start the oil consumption tests. They found that it was 2qt low and documented it on the service order. 700 miles and test again. The previous oil was replaced less than 2500 miles ago.

 

It took roughly two weeks from the call from Nissan to receiving the motor at the dealership in my case.

 

I have been complaining about oil consumption for over 2 years finally took th e car to a dealership that admitted to the problem. Any chance of getting nissan to buyback the vehicle?

 

what is up with this new hand built engine.. i spoke to a nissan rep who said they have confirmed the problem but there is no fix yet..i have documentation by nissan im sucking 3 1/2 quarts every 3000 miles and for me to call the bbb for help.... this is coming from a nissan rep.....

 

Thanks. How long ago was this? I think there may be a longer waiting list now.

They called me on the 9th and the car went in this past Tuesday. Will be ready Monday.

 

I had my engine installed so quick I wonder if they have a few Jap engines staged in TN. My engine was at the dealership in less then 5 days. I was shocked.

 

ive been pushing for this for 3 weeks now and same result....

 

Interesting, as well as the gentleman who had his in 5 days. Rep led me to believe it would be a little while, I guess we will see.

My car is still consuming oil with new Jap engine. I have no choice but to go to arbitration. This should be interesting.

 

I wouldnt/didnt have any aftermarket items on my ride when it arrived at the dealership because of a blown motor.

Last oil change was 1700 miles and it had NO OIL IN IT!

Cover your azzzzes and save yourself a 10K bill. I few hundred to install the OEM equipment is far less than buying a new block, or having some punk warrantee advisor deny your claim because of a spacer or headers, HF Cats.

I have heard that the cold air intake (the ones that grab cold air close the ground), have been known to grab water....they wanted me sign a doc that said if water was found in my engine, i would foot the bill. I was like I have a short ram intake (350z tube and K&N on my G35 coupe) so there is no way. I told them to pull the block apart, then call me, I aint signing shizzil.

Bottom line, new engine, handbuilt from Japan fixed the issue. A guy with the exact same car,same dealership two months prior, didnt get the same motor and his still burning oil after only 2500 on new engine.

There is hope, but the fight maybe long.

 

How many miles do you have on it?

Mine did burn a bit at first, but seems to have stopped. Also, the dealer failed to put the proper amount in it at first and I had to add a lot of oil at the beginning.

This again is just my experience so far and I am still watching it to see what happens.

 

If you mean total miles 18314. I have about 1345 since they installed the new engine. You make a good point. At this point, its about 1/2 a centimeter under H. Im not sure what that equates to as far as oil. Also, I did check it after it sat overnight.

 

Not sure on the cm either, but I know after 1000 miles I had lost 1/4 qt (3/4 between the L and the H, toward the H). After 3000 miles, I ended down 1/2 qt (halfway between the L and the H)

 

One full centimeter if half way between L and H. Since I am 1/2 a centimerter, if what you say is correct, I guess I am down .25 of a quart.

 

Actually, if you are halfway between the L and the H, then that is 1/2 qt down. I would keep a close eye on it and see if it continues. Either that, or take it in for an oil consumption test since you will need documentation on the new engine for arbitration. Hope everything work out.

 

No Im am half of that. I am one half of a half a quart down. Either way its going to the dealership tomorrow and they can figure it out. Also, isn't there someone who posted that said they were on there 3rd engine?

 

OK, then yes, 1/4 qt.

I believe it was Theatrix, but I think he is on his first "v2" engine.

I'm hoping that this engine will not burn anymore oil, but it it one of those things that will come to fruition over time. I just hope for the best and will take it for consumption testing if the problem comes back.

 

Well, I decided to go get the paper and check my oil since I have been talking about it today.

Here is what I found.

376 miles since the change and I verified it was full the next day. It is now 1/2 qt down! It seems like things are not so well.

 

your current engine was the final repair attempt, right?
