08 G37 motor is knocking. Oil is changed every 4000 miles at Nissian dealership. Last oil change was done at Infiniti dealership. The serviceman told me that I should be putting their special oil in it. I refused and now less than 1500 miles later the motor is knocking. Took car by the Nissian dealer when it started knocking and told them what was said at Infiniti dealership. Service man said the new Nissian oil is just something that they are trying to push. Oil change with new oil is $100.00 and up but only needs to be changed every 5500 miles. Any tips. Thanks
Please change the oil now at the Nissan garage and watch the vehicle closely.
$100 is not so much like getting your car totally knocked.
Good luck and rate this solution/ suggestion.
Sounds like VVEL motors making noise,so the only way to fix this is with special engine oil called Ester oil and they have a ECM reprogram so you might have to take it to infiniti dealership,to have it done under warranty but after that bulletins been done.and you dont continue using ester oil you might hear the noise from time to time.and the ester oil changes are around $100
TO ME IF YOU PUT RIGHT OIL VISCOSITY IN LIKE 5W -30 ANY NAME BRAND SHOULDNT MATTER.NOW TRANSMISSIONS YOU HAVE TO PUT IN A SPECIAL TRANSMISSION FLUID.BUT OIL IF VISCOSITY RIGHT.ENGINE KNOCKING THAT COULD BE FACTORY FAULT.WARRANTY SHOULD COVER IT.A NEW ENGINE CAN THROW ROD AND MAIN BEARINGS. IF FACTORY FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB RIGHT.
I think u have spark knock... burn up whats in your gas tank (i mean drive...lol) then put some higher octane gas in (super unleaded)...
