The only incident that we have experienced is on a 2002 Maxima.

The noise is only after 48 hours of sitting without any starts.

We spoke to nissan and they have determine it is bleed down in the timing chain tensioners.

The noise is for only 5 seconds are less. It is determined this will cause no damage and nissan has suggested that we try a synthetic oil change.

We have only seen that 1 case.

I hope this is a help to you.
