Let me premise this a little bit.........
2 weeks ago I took my car into Nissan because I was hearing a strange rattle noise after a cold start when I would drive. They couldn't find anything so I decided to get it some more time.
So last week I took the car in because when I was turning the wheel I was hearing a loud clicking noise as well as still hearing the rattle noise at cold start. They found that the clicking noise was due to some loose bolts on the control arm from when I was hit in an accident. I asked about the noise I was hearing at cold start and the mechanic told me it was because I wasn't using Nissans recommended ester oil and that owners were complaining of the same sound and it was normal but that the only way I could get rid of the sound was to change over to an ester oil.
The last time I changed my oil was in November using Royal Purple. I was about due for an oil change and was going to run Redline this time around. They never at one point mentioned oil change or asked about oil changes or anything.
So today driving back from out of town, I was driving like a normally do and all of the sudden the service engine light soon was blinking. I immediately turned down the music and could hear a knocking sould at about 3k rpms no matter what gear I was in. I also noticed that the oil temperature was higher than normal at about 220degrees constant.
I knew something was ****** up so I drove it right to the dealership.
I finally called back after 6 hours and he informed me that I need to show the last 6-7 oil changes before Nissan would cover the work under warranty. He said there was metal shavings and bearing peices all in the motor and that I would need a new long block.
WTF! I had a 2001 BMW 330ci with over 100k on the odometer and I drove that thing harder than this car. I never had 1 ******* issue with oil AND anytime it was low on oil I would have a oil light indicator telling me.
I don't know what happened or why, I just can't believe this ****.
