Yea, its been pretty cold! We had a few days of 30-40 degree weather ... its going back down to 20 this week.

BUT anyway, its still cold enough where as the car oil
would make a difference in oil pressure and build up for the chain tensionors to make a noise. I mean, if someone can back me up on this, i would appreciate it .. maybe its not the chain going bad, only tensionors .. who knows!

YOUR SUPPOSED to change it every 60K According to nissan.
Personally, change it when it rattles. I had it rattle at 55K, and changed it at 63K. No biggie, once the rattle continues at idle, and no longer dissapears after warm up your gonna need to get the bad guide or chain out of there or risk a valve train collapse!

Does anyone know there is a way to tell if its just the tensionors building up? or am i gonna need to speak to the mechanic about his Phuck UP job he did in the first place!

Thanks
