When you say quiet things down are you speaking of engine slapping/knocking noise?

I just want to know what oil is best for making that slapping/knocking noise go away. I've been trying to choose between the Nissan Ester Oil and RP. My first oil change is coming up soon.

My dealer says its the injectors and all Nissan injectors sound that way.. Does that hold any truth?

Thanks!
