To all of you brothers and sisters currently residing in our beautiful Bay Area.
Is it simply my bad luck or are you guys in the same boat. I am experiencing pinging under light loads. I am using Premium only from different gas stations. Costco super - occasional pinging, Chevron super - even less, but still there, Shell super - pretty much the same as Costco. What are your experiencs. My MO was built 06/04, and I bought it 08/04. I have been hearing pinging to the different extent pretty much since brand new. I now have 4600 mi on it, hasn't changed oil yet (waiting for 5000).
Any similar experiences, any suggestions? Knock sensor? Simply bad gas? I don't want to live with this. I spoke with a service advisor at Daland Nissan -- and the responce was it is the gas, live with it. My responce was -- you have got to be kidding, I paid over $33K for the car and I have to "... live with it ...". His only suggestions was Chevron Super.
Please advise
