t1m350 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi, So I’ve been monitoring my 350Z’s oil level weekly over the last couple of months, and I’ve noticed that it dropped from around half full to around 1/3 full in about a month and a half. This doesn’t seem so bad. Today however when I checked it, it seems to have jumped from around 1/3 full to about 1/4 full, in a matter of just over a week. I don’t do many miles, so that factor hasn’t really altered. Is this normal? It doesn’t really smoke at all. Obviously, a good bet is to check the spark plugs, but I haven’t got round to doing so yet, should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 What mileage is this over? I know you say it's not many, but it's more important that time. Short trips I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short trips I assume? Yeah short trips, but I always let it warm up first. I’d say it’s over 1000-1500 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 How many miles has the car done? What weight oil are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that won't help for a start. 5 hours ago, t1m350 said: I’d say it’s over 1000-1500 miles. It's within tolerance then, so keep an eye on the level/top up as required but otherwise don't worry about it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
