NNA...Is quite misleading..

Nissan Canada would not warranty any OC engines, until the Canadian TSB was released...
Also, there is no lemon-law in Canada, so he would be at the mercy of Nissan.
Being a US vehicle, he would surely be denied if it were not for the TSB issued by Nissan Canada, recognizing this problem.

 

Lemon Law is different.

If you bought a vehicle and is messed up like OP's (1 quart per 500 miles), are you trying to say that 'Nissan Canada' has no legal obligation to fix the problem under it's own warranty?

 

Since you bought the car used, the prior owner broke in the engine completely wrong. Original owner had driven the car very carefully and did not high rev the engine during the first 400 miles to groove the piston walls for a tight seal. The dirty oil is probably correct, you're getting excessive blowby now. A cheap fix that works guaranteed is Engine Restore with CSL. It has special metallic-like filler in the oil that seals around the piston rings to prevent oil to blowby. I've used this on several cars that burned 1 quart ever 1000 miles. It literally stops the oil burning completely, even during constant high revving in the canyon runs. Don't be alarmed with doing an oil change and you see these metallic-like stuff in your oil. It's part of the additive. It's actually what seals the piston rings to prevent blowby. Heres their website:

Got any proof or testing on an oil consuming 350Z?

 

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying..
If Nissan Canada does not recognize the TSB from NNA..
-why would they be obligated to warranty a vehicle that was imported from the US?

I also know of at least 5 G35 owners who were refused an engine replacement, prior to the Nissan.ca TSB.

From my own personal experience.. They were not going to warranty my motor, which was loosing more then 1 litre /500 km...
When the TSB was released, the service manager called me the within an hour to tell me that they had ordered my new v2 motor.

 

Oh really?
I followed the motoman *hard* break-in, and my v2 motor does not loose any oil...

I am not an expert.. but something tells me that metal shavings in your oil = not a good thing..

 

Seems everyone that does not build engines is skeptical, however since I've used it on quite a few cars with higher compression than a 350z and regular cars from civics to suv's; the compression test after about 400 miles of driving always sky rocketed back to normal or near normal compression ratio on all cylinders. I will vouch it works because I've checked the crank shaft bearings and rod bearings, etc from using this stuff for over 60k miles from it's point of use on 3 different cars. I saw no abnormal wear. Cars I've tested on were civics, built b16+b18 engines, camry, different generations of explorers, dodge v8 magnum ram truck, ford focus, lexus gs300 , nissan 240sx s13's and s14's, toyota trucks, lots of old american v8's, audi a4, etc. everyone i recommended to try it has been happy. The metal flake isn't the same material that comes off your engine. It's seems to be a very soft filler metal that seems to only effect the piston seal. so my experience and those that i know that have tried and are still using it, absolutely love it. but it is expensive though.

i agree that the sparkly flakes that you see is scary. i first tested it on my audi a4. knowing that german cars are garbage to me (except the m series, amg series), i wasn't afraid to use it. i had 100k on the block an it was burning 1 quart a month. so roughly 2 quarts every 3k miles, which is ridiculous. i used the restorer on the first oil change. in that 3k period of driving i burned 1/2 a quart. the second oil change it no longer burned oil. it never burned oil since, given that i continue to use that stuff every oil change. it only works for as long as you continue to use it. if you stop using it, the 2 or 3rd oil change you'll start to burn oil again.

i only recommend what i've personally had good experience with. so this definitely works, also, for those with messed up auto trans from doing a full flush, using lucas transmission fix will almost always cure your problem. that was another great product that saved about 7 cars due to full flushes AFTER 60-100k of driving on original auto fluid. i've done a couple of flushes on cars that never have had their transmission fluid replaced for about 100k miles... outcome was slipping transmission and sudden stalling. adding a bottle of lucas trans fix solved 8 outta 9. the 1 that didn't work, the clutch bands were so far worn that it needed a rebuild.
