I hope not that would look very bad for the fixed motor

Not to be redundant, but my mechanic, who has done quite a few swaps, said a brand new engine will take about 5 1/2 to fill all the nooks and crannies in the new engine.

Having my oil changed Monday. Had it changed at 200 miles on the V2 to avoid any metal shavings from break-in. Dealer usually gets me in and out just before lunch, but was busy last week and asked me to come in Monday, so I am at 3850 miles since the change at 200 miles, as of today.
Checked the oil level today, and I am just over a 1/3 of a quart above "L" on the dip stick. This means I have used just under 2/3 of a quart in 3850 miles ........... remember, this is break-in as well. This is VERY encouraging. The engine runs great and gets better and smoother every day. If the next oil change at around 7500 miles is the same or better, I will consider this a winner ....... a V2 success!!! Just wanted to share the update, so you guys can update that spreadsheet you're keeping "smiles"

ps: I drive this car the way it was meant to be driven, don't abuse her, but don't baby her either .... spirited driving.

FYI: after 500 miles not 5000 like they recommend....I beat the crap out of my car for maximum piston ring seatage!
My two cents!

Well another one from Canada.
Dropped my car at Sherwood Nissan, Alberta, Canada few weeks back. Got the call today Nissan had agreed to replace the engine.
I was told there was a serious shortage for these new long blocks. Fortunately for me its winter so the cars asleep anyways, but Im told 3-4 months.
They asked me if it was parked for winter. I made the mistake of saying Yes. They said there giving the long blocks to anyone driving all year currently due to the shortage. So I have to wait.
Guess i'll post back in a few months when i get my engine.

Guys,
I want to take a moment to recognize a couple guys that have been very instrumental in making this thread a success from the start. We all should take a moment and reflect back to say a year ago when everyone had no place to go for answers on the oil consumption issue, everyday new and different tales were popping up from the dealers and NNA, there was kaos, disbelief, confusion, frustration, anger, disappointment, stress, marriages were torn apart, (owner and car) brother against brother, those were the days. These guys put everything into perspective so today their time here has given the rest of us some ground work to base our case against NNA and the dealers.
dbasal and bofa are the godfathers of this topic. Their help, support and advice have been truly valuable for all of us in dealing with NNA and our dealers. Without their experiences dealing with NNA and sharing it with the community, this topic discussion would be nothing less than a be-chin thread. I would have to say this thread has been and still is the best thread on this site where everyone is polite and helpful to all. No thanks to dbasal and bofa for setting the tone.
A real asset to this community!
Thanks
-Curtis
