Engine knocks after oil change, please help!!!
After an oil change a week ago, the engine is making knocking noise. The oil that I put in was Castrol 5-30. Please let me know what I should do to stop the knocking noise? Do I have to change the oil to 10-40? The mileage in my car is 45k. Thanks everyone.

If you are still hearing the noise I would get a Nissan OEM filter and install it, refilling the required amount of oil. Cheap diagnostic.

You shouldn't have to mix and match oils yo stop your car from knocking...esp w/45K miles.
I'd redo the entire oil change from scratch with a new oil filter. Purolator is actually a decent filter...esp the Pure 1. It's all I've ever used in 11+ years of DIY oil changes. Still, you never know if some jerk in the parts store stuffed something inside the filter to purposely clog it up. How many of us actually check our oil filters when we take them out of the box? A clear plastic bag could easily slip by.
