When I bought the vehicle the dealer used a Pennzoil filter. The service said hes seen this happend with napa brand,fram brand, Pennzoil. He said there is a Tsb out of this too to use nissan filters. From the dealer their like $7. Buy in bulk their cheaper. Like a 5pack. I usually run mobil 1 oil and mobil 1 filter in all my other cars but im just goin to stick to nissan filters and mobil 1 oil. Thank you everyone for the assistance and sorry getting back a bit late.

Yesterday I purchased a Nissan Filter and 6 quarts of Mobil1 syn oil. I'll probably change the oil tomorrow to see if that helps.

So the Nissan dealer said the whine was caused by the non OEM oil filter and not the timing chain pensioners?

I've heard of a couple of noise issues due to some aftermarket filters. I prefer to use genuine Nissan, but I've used Purolator Classic and Pure One filters on my R51's without any noise problems.

Well I changed the oil today with Valvoline SynPower 5w30 and a genuine Nissan oil filter today. And mine still makes the noise so it must be the timing chain I am assuming. :(

Please let us know if that helped ...
