Description of the problem	Yes i brought my 2004 maxima into nissan dealership at 58,000 miles for loud noise on cold start up's, coming from passenger side of motor and nissan tech told me that i didn't have nissan oil filter and it not purging the oil to top of motor on cold starts. So i recently had oil change a few hundred miles before so not changing it till next required oil change at 61,000 when it came time brought it to nissan for oil change because they have special oil filters i guess. Well now at 65000 miles my noise is there all the time hot or cold and cold start is the worse and even when its running, and its not the oil filter there's is no different than any other brand and it is the plastic guides in the timing chain that have failed and now it's my problem to fix around 2000 dollars to fix and nissan says it's out of warranty so they won't coverit well nissan was wrong again nissan is aware of their faulty parts you can search the original part number for my maxima and you will find a new part number for the guides because nissan changed part number and material when making the new part without a recall or consumers knowledge of them doing it.
