I purchased a 2004 nissan 350z touring model in july 2004 and have put approximately 10,000 miles on it since then. The car ran out of oil in the first 5,000 miles. Since then, I have had to add, on average, around 2 to 3 quarts of oil every 3,000 miles. Several dealers insist that this is normal. My local dealer finally began a oil consumption test and noticed the car needed 3 to 4 quarts of oil after 2,000 miles. The dealer called nissan and nissan said that this was a known issue with the pcv valve. Nissan advised the dealer to replace the valve gaskets. I am concerned that permanent damage has already been done to the engine.

I have a 2004 350z coupe I bought it brand new in sept.2003 assortment of problems that the dealer is unable to fix: 1. Loud clutch chatter while car is idling and also when accelerating & decelerating in 1st & 2nd gear. 2. Transmission clank when shifting gears feels like the tyranny is loose. 3. When car is idling the engine appears to be misfiring and engine is knocking. I have been having these problems ever since I purchased the car and 6000 miles later still not fixed.
