Cold start Engine Knock

So I went to start my car this morning. 03 G35 Sedan with 88K no mods on it and heard a loud knocking sound on the right side of the engine. It went away when it warmed up. I used the car yesterday for less then 5 min. Just pulled out of the garage then pulled it back in a couple of hours later. Been a solid car so far no problems. Now I am freaking. Don't want to blow an engine.

Sounds like this video.


Turned off the engine and checked oil. Anyone have any ideas? I have searched. Going to do an oil change tonight.

Never redlined. Only did it once. Once the engine warmed up it was gone. Spoke to an Infiniti Mech he said it is the might be the oil level. Oil level is half way.

it could be that that oil is leaking in to one of you cylinders. usually cylinder #6 which is in the back on the right side.
