Holy mackeral, engine rpm reduced to 4500 is disasterous and means only 117 mph on the interstate!!! .... I wonder how many drive their cars at those speeds for any distance?? What motor oil are you using, I use Syntec 5-30.
 
Kind of makes me wonder why my 370z only indicates about 200 to 220 degs. on long mountain grades with outside temps hovering in the 80's???
 
Perhaps it's because I didn't intend to run my car to death but just enjoy it's wonderful handling and acceleration in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
 
They certainly don't give these things away you know.

#9 of 13 Service engine warning by statmantx

Have new Z with 500 miles. Service engine warning light came on after 1st fill-up. Service manual state gas cap needs to be tight and will go off after a few miles. 50 miles later and warning is still on. Any suggestions?

Once I ascertained the fuel cap was properly tightened I would go directly to my dealer for a fast diagnostic check. I don't fool around with those warnings as they can possibly be serious. As you know that VQ engine is quite a piece of engineering.

I would return the car to the dealer each time you have this issue, under the current Lemon Law the dealer will be required to buy back the vehicle if the issue is not corrected within a year. A class action law suit is also an option.
