Car TalkRe: Tapping/Scrapping Sound After Oil Change 2001 Nissan Pathfinder HELP! by oblo(op): 5:19am On Oct 10, 2014
mayor2013:
You don enta one chance. When we say use the recommended oil type I guess we giving a good advice. Just pray the sound goes
Maybe but from what I read 10w-40 can be used. Besides the oil that had always been uused to service the car had been 20w-50

kenmaro:
It's the tappet valves. I guess the sound should stop after driving for a few days. An over-due oil service change interval and low oil lubrication is one of the causes too. Lets hope it stops.
can it be that? if you say over due for service it was not havin that issue before I serviced and can low oil lubrication be caused by new oil?
Car TalkTapping/Scrapping Sound After Oil Change 2001 Nissan Pathfinder HELP! by oblo(op):
Ok..


I am more of a VW guy but sometimes I just have to. handle some other brands of cars.. and this time...erm.. well...I decided to go and service my Mother In-laws 2001 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5 litre with mileage of 123k miles plus (if to say I know I for just leave am jeje) angry

Well.. off I went to camp Enugu where am based to get engine oil, filter, Plugs, Air filter and some other odds and ends lipsrsealed.

Well as an ardent reader of. car talk treads off I went in search of a brand bearing 0w-30 which I think is the recommended spec for the car in question. (I no get manual) I. did not get that one so I got 10w-40 instead as everyone seemed to stock 20w-50 huh

Mechanic did. the service and changed the oil and evvery thing seemed in order but after driving for about 30mins with ac blasting I. noticed a tapping sound like something metalic was rubbing or scraping against another coming from the front of the engine.

went back to mechanic and after trouble shooting. sound persisted. and we. had to go and eventually buy 20w-50 as mechanic insisted that it was because 10w-40 was not what had been used in all its previous services and my Mother inlaw confirmed that they had always used the regular 20w-50.

He did the change (wasted my fresh 10w-40) angry sound. remained and his solution was that I drive around and that the sound would disapear (he apparently changed his proffesion to soothsayer before my very own eyes) lipsrsealed and well if it did not.. make I come back tomorrow.(i guessed he had not a clue to that sound) grin

Oya..i don come abeg the car techies in the house come and devine for me oo make them no tell me say na new engine I need to buy!! shocked
