Last month I told the dealer to check a noise under the hood and they told me the car was very low on oil. They told me to come back in 1,500 KM to have it tested and it was not low but 1,500 more KM when I had it tested a second time it was low. What could this be?
The really awful thing is that I cant prove the car had regular maintanance because the previous owner had it serviced at a small garage and they didn't keep the records. Nissan is telling me that if I cant prove that the car has had regular maintanance I will have to pay for any work done, regardless of the warranty. Any advise would be helpful, With thanks, 02AltimaCND.
