Ok so I may be trading my S13 for a 1987 N/A 300zx. It has an issue with the oil though. Basically it takes a long time to go back into the oil pan. Example: We started it yesterday and let it run for a few minuites. Then I went to chck the oil about 5 min. later. It showed no oil on the dip stick. Then I waited another ten and it showed a little bit. After about 45 min. It showed a decent amount on the dip stick. Now I know it takes a litle time to go back into the pan but this just doesn't seem right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

Has any extensive work been done to this car recently ,engine wise? like head gaskets or something. If not try running a quart of Atf in with the oil then drain it out and refill it with engine oil. see if that makes a difference.
