Message I've been having lots of problems with that shop...One of them being that they f***ed up my oil level bar and they made me a custom one that was a little longer, but I never noticed since I just thrusted in that simple job.

Other thing was that my valve lifters were sounding bad since a few months ago, but this time when I picked up my Z, the valve lifters were sounding worse than ever (they just said that the lifters are just dead and it was time to replace them) and my oil pressure gauge was not reading, so the mechanics told me that I needed a new oil pressure sensor (they looked for a barometer to read my oil pressure but never found one, so they told me that everything was ok and it was just a couple of dead valve lifters the only problem).

Since the only problem looked to be the sound of the bad lifters, I ordered 24 new valve lifters that same day and took my car home and barely used it while I was waiting for them to get here...Another knock sound appeared besides the valve lifters, so I took my car to a new shop...When they wanted to read the oil pressure, they found that my car had no oil...Maybe a quarter or less...We fill some oil and the lifters sound almost dissapeared, but the other knock sound still was there...Well, the rest is story...The oil pressure light never turned on.

Me and my brother still kick each other for not thinking the worst and thrust in those guys...We never thought that there wasn't any oil on the car since we were just picking up the car ready to be picked up (with all the fluids checked by the mechanics)...Looks like one of those idiots took the oil out and forgot to refill it.

At the end, I'm the only stupid for keep taking my Z to a shop that doesn't even have the basic equipment...Learned the hard way...Peruvian mechanics are maybe the worst on the planet, that's for sure.
