I noticed a strange tick a few days ago, and think it may be a stuck lifter, but looking for second opinions. I ordered Z1's Extreme Clean Engine Flush, and am going to run it and replace with fresh Mobil 1. If that fails a trip to Carmax may be in order since it is still in warranty. No lights on besides tire pressure(no tpms in new wheels yet) I've seen other videos on here that sound similar but can't tell for sure if it is the same noise. I'm sure my phrasing for what I am looking for is off when searching the forum, so I only am finding a handful of videos to compare to.

 

VQ37VHR uses solid lifters.

 

 

I realized this after seeing the earlier response and digging through another thread.. I think it is time to take it into Carmax and hope I am able to take advantage of my warranty.

 

Just an update:
Took the car to Infiniti for diagnosis and repair under my CarMax warranty. Diagnosed as the Crankshaft Bearing-Caused by low oil. I had been keeping an eye on the oil once we heard the noise, and sure enough, was basically pissing oil out, as 2 days after topping it off it was almost to the L again. Still waiting to see if Max Care will cover it!
