Hodge's new 4.2

[Hodge]

What sort of oil does Nissan sell for the 4.2 ? I have a service kit voucher from them. Filter, oil and air filter.

Scratch that. Just read fine print... Only if THEY service it.

I'll stick with Delo. So, should I grab Delo 400 or Delo 400 Multigrade ?

[Hodge]

Didn't get around to it today. Nobody had delo on this side of Melbourne. Wasn't gonna drive 2 hours turnaround just for oil all the way to Dandenong.

Multigrade mate.

Don't want to hijack Mudskis thread any more but here is a second video (cold engine start) with the tappers??? chatter you can clearly hear.
As I mentioned in Mudskis thread the mechanic thinks it may be a pressure sensor ??? At the back of the pump. Have no idea how it works or what it does, but he said to try that first. Second video is the one when engine is warm.

Sounds the same as mine mate, my mechanic said I should get the valves adjusted but now I am not sure, may just bite the bullet and get them checked anyway

Sounds notmal to me hodge. I took a recording of mine to send to mudski and I know everything on mine is good at 340k. It wouldnt hurt to get the valve clearances checked either way.

I check mine valves every 20k and hardly ever have to adjust them.

That's what mine sounds like mate. That engine bay is soo clean!

[Stropp]

mine is the same too, in fact when its cold it is noisier than any other 4.2 i have heard but when it warms up it is quieter. I have had the valves adjusted and double checked so i just think its normal for my car.

Thanks folks, this morning it was freezing and I recorded it the second after start up. Will post it up later. You will hear exactly what I'm talking about.

A while back I think Winnie was saying its just a 4.2 thing, and most other 4.2 owners agreed ,
just one of the quirks you have to put up with driving/owning a 4.2TD
