...have any of you experienced an oil consumption problem and if so, did a dealership in DFW verify the problem? how was the problem resolved? i am just curious b/c I may have this issue that so many rev-up motors have. i know there is a gazillion threads about this but i am just wanting to know if there is anybody local, or in all of texas, has had this problem and how it was resolved...

**edit---maybe its up-rev motor. eh, dont care, its too early :-/

 

It's rev-up. UpRev is a tuning shop based in Austin, TX.

I haven't heard of anybody in TX with oil consumption, really, but I do recall reading that a member "creed" thought his Z was consuming oil not too long ago.

 

im going to start my oil consumption test tomorrow. not having any type of leak or burning but my oil level sitting way below low has me a lil concern'd.

 

i/ve got an oil consumption problem but after researching all the i have on this forum, i've given up trying to fix it. I 've come to the realization that is just the way nissan made this motor. and probably due to the fact that i ran synthetic starting after my first oil change, which i have now realized is a big no no no no no.
I've since changed back to using regular non-synthetic oil (Castrol) still burning oil about 2 quarts every oil change, but she runs fine. as long as you dont run it dry your good.

 

...you mean to tell me that my Non-Rev-up 'O4 Touring Coupe's engine IS actually less
problem-prone than the Rev-up one??? A-L-R-I-G-H-T!!! NO WONDER I'm STILL in love with the puppy after 8 months of owning it!!! When I got it, it had just 13k on it, & had
that new-car scent! Paid $2O,5OO for it (Zeds are v-e-r-y expensive down here, guys!)
NO feathering, either! I'm starting to believe I struck gold--more like THE mother lode!!!--
when I bought it! NO oil-consumption issues, NO overheating problem, man, I'm keeping
it for as long as God allows!!! Just 287hp/274ftlbs torque, but, for my age (59), THAT'S
S-W-E-E-T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn brian that sucks.. keep us posted on the outcome - who knows - on the upside, you just might get yourself a new motor..

 

wtf?

 

yeah we'll see how it goes. either get a new motor or a new car...

 

j.arnaldo, the 03-05's (non-revups) don't have oil consumption issues. Only the 03-04.5 have feathering issues, tranny problems, axle click, etc. There are 04.5+ that claim the same problems, but are in much smaller numbers.
