Valve Adjustment

Are there any videos or sound files running around about this ticking?

My 2009 6spd w/ SP has never had this issue. I ran factory oil until 1500 miles, Castrol GTX until 5000 miles, and have used Castrol Syntec 0W-30 up until this point with repeated oil analyses that are perfect. With 17,500 miles, the only ticking I've ever hard is the injectors. The injectors on my previous 2007 Altima VQ35DE were very loud, too (louder under load). So...I'm curious if mine does it too and I haven't ever paid attention or if I'm one of the lucky ones.

You all should try changing to Castrol Syntec 0W-30, too. It's a super oil and has really good wear characteristics. I ran it in my Altima for the 40000 miles I had it and had perfect oil analysis results every time and I GAVE THAT CAR HELL!!! Same with the Z. Just sayin...
