I checked this morning and the level was the same as when I got the car back from the dealer. I will be changing the oil this week with Mobile 1 0W40 and should be able to put another 750-1000 mi before I have to store it away for winter. If things stay the same in three weeks, I will be scheduling a JWT twin turbo install next spring.

^Thanks I will update the new format list with your info.
Install date?
Initial impression?
I just finished the UOA thread, I am sold on Mobil1 0w-40 gonna swap out on my next oil change.
Q: Is your V2 for a G? If so what part # was on the invoice? Ending in a "9" or was it a "G"?

- Part# 10102-AC7MZ
- Installed Oct. 1
- Maybe a bit smoother but no difference in power that I can feel. I've found the car to be wimpy since day one because the 2006 is a replacement for a supercharged 2003 that I had stolen last year.

Checked the oil on my v1 replacement...the oil level is a little over half. So in 600 miles I am about 3/4 of a qt low. Anyone know how the dipstick works? On the L isnt 1 qt low. Because during my consumption test i would be above the L barely and almost 2 qts low. I believe it is like 1.75 qts from L to H

Consumption test are done!
Well I've been doing the consumption test for several months and finally got the news. I am averaging 4.1 quarts per 3400 miles. That's what the dealer came back with from all my times of having it checked.
Dealer called today and said that Nissan will replace the long block as soon as more of the newer version(I guess the V2) are available for ship. Also said they are aware that the old version does not repair the problem and they aren't using that to fix this problem anymore.
On the Tech Line Asist form that NNA sent back it says they are awaiting a bulletin to be released about this as well.....I don't have a clue what that could be referring to.
This is what I know and just wanted to pass it on. I will say I had NO hassle getting them to approve the long block replacment.

Oil Consumption Test Done
I bought my '04 Touring in June '07 and had the dealer change the oil when I took it in for the 60k checkup. I was stunned a few weeks ago when I noticed the oil pressure was dropping. Checked the oil level and had to add almost 3 quarts to get it back to full. I only drove it 1500 miles! So I was thinking: either the dealer did not fill it all the way or it's burning a ton of oil. The car does not smoke very noticeably - even when pushed hard.
Took it back to the dealer with 58,000 miles on it and they changed the oil w/filter and had me drive it 500 miles. Returned it last week and it was almost a full quart low.
Just got a call from the service manager at the dealership. NNA has just appoved a new long block.

Well I just got back from the dealership and I have in my hand a invoice for a new motor and it states that nissan has a new production motor to be released soon that is to be a fix this is not just new rings and what have you its a new set up,and specs or so they say but its all here in writing so I guess I can't wait for the new motor so happy at this time lets hope the V3 thats what I'm calling it, is a true fix. because from what my tech manager said I did get the motor with new rings from a different suppler V2 (I guess) he says the part number did not mean much Z or A same deal ,only time will tell all

ALso...service managers are not the most privey to knowledge people...my service manager thought the GTR was 100percent gonna have a 3.5 vq with a twin turbo 500 hp. Also thought the next Z was gonn have a v8. But that i got from one of the techs.lol...
not to mention some dealrships actaully beleive the the stillen Z is actaully worth it lmao
7k miles no oil consumption on a revised motor. using 0w40

I'm not trying to throw cold water on your statement, but this statement from Nissan that a new engine is coming is what they have been touting forever to put people off........... wait for a fix.............it's coming. Could very well be the same ole song and dance to avoid too much liability. Only those that BBB or threaten to sue have been served in most cases.

exactly...i just cant see there being a TSB on all revups..Its just to much of a backfire. but im all for it. But im not gonna lie i have heard this before aswell.
Just ask your self this...what kind of engine do you think your gonna get.lol ITs gonna be a revup of course. So keep in mind that revised rings and pistons is about the only thing ur probably gonna recieve in the future . Remember there still liable for giving you exactly what was desired in the purchase warranty wise.
I hope it works out fellas....we need some 300rwhp revups man.

antennahead this will be my 3rd motor and as the rest of you I'm suspicous too ,also thats excatly what they said the rings, pistons and cylinder walls all have been revised (not just a new supplyer for rings, but new specs)of course its still a rev up dah and here I thought I was getting the top secret motor made just for me
Guys we all have to take what they say with a little grain of salt read between the lines and figure out the truth for ourselfs, ofcourse they are buying some time why put another motor thats just going to eat oil in my car again, what ever I just want it fixed and I'm willing to wait for a little while and give them a chance to make it right. 50/50 chance that it won't take NOT A FIX, hand built true but not working for all.Believe me I'm mad about this too but lets not hate on each other I was just relaying what was told to me, I've been going through this for a long time , as has most of you and some of you got the run arround ,well I did not they replaced my motor the first time after one test and have been very good to me there they shared what info they had then and are sharing the info they have know,so lets all hope they do something soon................I'm out
