Some 370Z models can exhibit increased oil consumption, particularly as mileage accumulates. This can be due to worn piston rings or valve stem seals. Estimated repair cost: $1,500 - $3,000.

The clutch is a wear item, and aggressive driving can accelerate its degradation. Symptoms include slipping, difficulty shifting, or a grabby engagement. Estimated repair cost: $800 - $1,500.

Over time, the plastic end tanks of the radiator can become brittle and develop leaks, leading to coolant loss and potential engine overheating. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $700.
