Turns out my 06 did have that issue were it would waste oil. Anyways after bickering and making them hold up to the warranty, they decided to give me a 0 miles crate engine, i havent seen the engine and will have someone drop my z at the dealer since i have to work. Is there anyway i can find a serial number on my current engine to match the new one so i know they actually changed it?

 

yeah there is the bar code on the side of the engine. its on the side of my air intake, but i have an 03.

 

Is this issue only on the 2005-06 models?

How common is it and what should I look for when I get mine? (FWIW I'll have an '04)

 

Massive oil less.

 

You really trust these guys don't you?

No i dont trust the guys at the dealers, because they keep trying to weasel out of everything. Well i got my car back on friday. I matched the S/N, so they did change it. i checked the oil and im going to keep records of it, time to break in the new engine. Oh ands they changed belts and i got a new clutch >=]. Car was pre owned and when i got it the first few days the clutch reeked.

 

I had my short block replaced due to "oil consumption" but my car is an 04.5 and I just think they prefer the easy route. LOL
