Update: I had the noise yesterday so i drove it into Glendale Infiniti. I parked in the service area, and opened my hood. The service guy immediately said that the car needs Ester Oil. I told him i was there to prove the sound just in case monday morning I was unable to replicate the sound....

He said he has had a lot of G's come in for this same problem.

 

Ester oil and this is what I came up with that closely fits your problem. Interesting

i just got my car back from the dealer for the tsb ester oil. the engine does seem quieter but it's still too early to tell if it fix the problem!

I will keep you posted.

I got an FX45 as a loaner, man those things are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

but I do love my G more.....

 

lucky you! i got a g35 sedan.

 

Junyea who was the service technician you talked too, cause i'll be taking mine in two weeks. I would rather talk to someone that has a clue of what the problem is. Im from Yuma, unfortunately we dont have an Infiniti dealership and i dont want to take it to the local Nissan Dealership.

I took my G to the dealer (Infiniti of Peoria) this past Friday for its first oil change. I told them about the engine noise and the brakes squeaking. Without any hesitation, the Service Consultant told me they would reset the ECM and fix the brakes. He told me that A LOT of concerned G37 owners have had the same engine problem. I asked him if they have replaced the regular oil with ESTER oil. He said no, but if I wanted the ESTER oil he could try to get it covered under the ECM reset. He said the only downfall to that would be that my future oil changes would be more expensive. Since I had read that some still had the noise after the ECM reset with reg oil, I decided to go with the ESTER oil. He then offered me a loaner @ $15, I know its close to nothing but when I bought my car in TX and they told me loaners were free (atleast at their dealer). I wanted to drive an FX but they only loaned G35 sedans!! Only 1k on the loaner but no premiun options. Approximately 4-5 hours later they give me a call and tell me they just finished washing my car so I can pick up the car before 6pm or just stay with the loaner and pick up my car the following day. I was close, so I went to the dealer hoping that anoying noise was gone! I turned on the car and I didnt hear it, I opened the hood to listen closely and still nothing. So I wiped the sweat off of my forehead and walked into the office expecting a big bill. The service guy started telling me what they did to the car, and then the big number, YOUR TOTAL IS GOING TO BE $15.00!!!!!! He told me he was able to get the Ester oil under the ECM reset. GREAT SERVICE!!! I know its only been a week but I havent heard that noise again. I've driven the car about 250-300 miles since the service.

 

$15 it is suposed to be free

 

i only had to pay $5 dollars

 

Man you guys a paying for this mine has always been free

 

I guess it all depend on what Infiniti Dealer u take it to. Good thing was I didnt have to pay for the oil change!

 

Does this mean we will have to use ester oil for the life of the car? Isn't that stuff like $12 a quart?

 

I believe it was stated before that Infiniti will try to make everyone use this new Ester oil for their cars...
