Yes, the noise stopped, it had only done it once but was bad when it did it.. I would suggest a Mobil or Purolator Pure one filter ( Pure one has a silicon, not nitrile rubber) antidrainback valve). Try one of those and see. I have an I30 also. maxima engine |

The G20 is equipped with the same engine as my car, the SR20DE. There's a big discussion on the SE-R mailing list regarding start-up clatter. It's not mileage dependent, it occurs even on new cars, and it does not appear to be a problem in shortening engine life. This noise has happened on cars with well over 100 or even 200 thousand miles. One hypothesis is that if the car is left for a period of time, oil drains from the galleries in the head, and the noise of the hydraulic lifters before they receive oil for a few seconds creates the racket. If you're concerned, or want to read more, look at the SE-R Mailing List Archives here: http://www.se-r-list.org/archives/ the search engine for the archives is very powerful, search for "start-up clatter" and other similar phrases. As well, check out: http://www.se-r.net for more general info about the cars. This is THE best site for the car on the net. I don't have the problem on my NX2000. |

| I have good luck in using WIX filters in my vehicles. Used to use Fram until I read bad things about it's durability. | |

Yep, I have the same problem with my '99 I30. Also had it on a '96 I30. Infiniti was good about trying to solve the problem on the '96, but to no avail. They changed the timing chain, plus a host of other things. Never fixed it. You did hit the nail on the head, however, with the anti-drainback issue, IMHO. I, too, changed to a Purolater Pure-One filter on the '99, and the problem has not occured since. I tried this as the Pure-One claims to have a superior anti-drainback valve...and so far, I believe it. |

| I don't see anything there about Fram...? | |

I saw mobil 1 oil filters in the store at $10.00 each. Are they that much different? Can a person go longer between filter changes when using a synthetic oils? I am thinking of using synthetic oil in my truck. |

We have two oil topics in this conference where this subject has been discused at length. Just use the search button on the left side of your screen and search for OIL. You will discover oil and become a rich oil tycoon...{%^D Your host, Bruce |

There's a webpage about an involved study of oil filters. It's extremely informative, possibly too much so for some, but it involves objective and subjective data, and is very eye-opening. http://minimopar.simplenet.com/oilfilterstudy.html |

| Bought a 2000 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4 litre , I usually use fram oil filters but their book in the auto parts store is not updated for 2000, don't know what filter size to buy? | |
