Why people always blow up their 350Z’s and G35’s 💥🤯💣

[ChrysGaines]

In case it wasn’t obvious, I followed the manual to the letter in the first oil check. Ran to temp, waited 15 mins, pulled, wiped, redipped, and you all saw the result. I have confirmed that the VQ35DE does use the dipstick tube cast into the block as an oil drain, which is why the stick comes out coated unless the car is cold. Some cars call for cold oil checks, some call for warm. This one is unreadable if you follow the manual.

I lost it at the fucking BMW steering wheel

Crazy how they didn’t just fix it when they re-released it twice over.

Or just redesign the car for the other 2 times

[mrburgermaster]

The real reason is simply neglect and abuse.

I pop my hood and check mine every morning. NEVER TRUST A VQ DIP STICK😂

[ItsJustFranko]

I'm still thinking it's people Rev bombing tf out of them 🤣

[hankm]

I literally forgot wha the entire video was about when I saw the bmw wheel

[lt_a]

Is no one gonna talk about the Bmw steering wheel? On the 350Z

when i was a tech at nissan, i learned that if you pull the dipstick out and see oil splashed all over the marked side, you can turn it over to the unmarked side and the reading will be accurate. the messy oil reading is common on pretty much all newer nissans

When reading your oil level, ALWAYS wipe the dipstick clean, reinsert, remove & read.

I was taught to check the oil when the engine's cold anyway, when the oil is settled in the pan.

[BoberMcBoberson]

"Do you know why so many people blow the engines in these cars"? Cuts to exactly what I'm picturing in my head 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[robertwright]

I had so many issues with these on these Nissans. Cold check is definitely the way to go.

"I might be low on oil - better run it for 15 minutes before checking."

[garyg]

He's actually correct. Dipstick gives the wrong reading consistently.

[StrangersIteDomum]

When somebody says the engineers knew what they were doing and built it the best they could.

[devilsreject]

I always pull my stick, wipe it, redip it and then read it.

After 5 years of ownership, I just make sure to do oil changes religiously at 3, 500 miles. I rarely beat my G but if I do then I’ll change sooner. I remember going to 5, 000 miles and when I pulled my drain bolt only 1.5 quarts came out, so 2 quarts with the filter. Don’t sleep on your oil VQ owners

I work at a lube shop and I hate reading the dipstick on these. Typically you've got to let it sit a few minutes after starting the vehicle with new oil and dip the stick in and back out quick. There'll be a dry spot on the dipstick (usually not even as wide as the whole dipstick) that indicates where the level is at but you've gotta do it quick or the surrounding oil on the stick will fill in the blank spot. Also a quick tip - if you cool off the dipstick before putting it in for the reading (by dipping it in fluids that are cooler than the oil or spraying it and drying it off) you'll get a much cleaner reading. Super useful on Mazda and Ford dipsticks

"The cylinder head uses the dipstick tube as an oil drain." 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣☠
