The G37 suffered from valve train noise and the solution was a software upgrade and using the Nissan ester oil. Road and Track was using Nissan ester in their long term
370Z and then switched to a conventional 5W-30 to see what would happen to the noise level. Valve train noise went up with the conventional oil. General consensus is that the increased valve train noise will not harm the engine. |
