My 2007 Infiniti g35 sedan has an engine ticking noise. Only happens when the engine is cold on drive and when I’m in a complete stop. Stops ticking when engine is warm. Anyone had this issue or knows what the problem is?

 

Need a lot more info, how many miles on the car? Oil is at the full mark, how often has oil been changed?

 

It has 160,000k miles. Oil is good. I change oil every 3k miles.

 

What brand/weight/type of engine oil do you use? What oil filter? Does the ticking noise come from the top of engine, bottom, front, back, left side, right side?
If top, then injector(r). Back, flex plate. Front, timing components, left or right is valve train issue.
I use Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30 5qts with oil filter: Mobil1 M1-110A and no issues after 10k oil intervals here in south florida.
