Message	due to oil starvation. (Most likely my fault for not checking) The stock pan is small, I'm surprised Nissan made it only hold 4 and some odd quarts. Its not a secret, I beat the hell out of the car. It's a toy for me. I'll drive the car 100's of miles at times on windy roads. I don't mind having a bit of overkill. The crank is happy, the heads are happy, that makes me happy. I drive this car at least 4 times a week and drive it like I stole it.
