My 2004.5 350Z is at 923 miles.

Has not used a drop of all during this break-in period.Many engines from other manufacturers would have.

Heh...my dad's '04 Max wouldn't let us forget about the 300 mile initial oil change. Kinda nice to have a reminder, but it gets in the way of the other information I want to see.

This is yet another impressive attribute of the VQ, and yet another reason I wish I had the money for my VQ40DER swap.

im thinking its due to good rings. thankfully nissan learned their lesson with the qr25 and kept its tried and true chrome faced soft rings.
