So I just dealt with my steering lock issue and I told them I was getting a periodic oil lamp icon which was followed by a slight vibration of the car.
They did a deep diagnosis and this is what they gave me. Almost a 4k repair I'd hate to lose this car. I live in the tri-state area (delaware to be exact) and I was wondering what opinions people have for this issue. I'd be willing to drive a bit to get a trustworthy place to handle it cheaper. |

Your oil pressure issue is due the oil galley gaskets on the front timing cover. Maybe someone in your area can post a trusted shop.
If you don't get it fixed you will loose the engine. |

There was a big discussion on the myg37 site about this. I believe someone did replace just the gaskets. Seems to affect pre 2012 model cars.

Cool, thanks for the help.
I took it to a place around me that works with nissan/infiniti. They replaced some sensor and performed an oil change. The light went away. However, the dealer did a deep investigation so I know the gaskets are still a problem. They are going to replace parts in the timing chain area and I'm going to do a couple other bits of maintenance while they got it open. My real concern now is making sure they use the new metal gaskets. I am waiting on a invoice from them showing what they are going to use. |
