Help! P0524 code
I drive a 2009 G37S manual, with about 92k miles.
So about a month ago I have gotten the P0524 code on my check engine light, which reads for low oil pressure and it put me in limp mode. I brought it to a Nissan dealership because the Infiniti one is out of town. They diagnosed it and cleared it and said everything was fine. Now it popped up two more times. The second time I didn't have any time to drop off the car since it's my only car. The third time I just brought it in today. They did an oil pressure test and I was told it's reading proper oil pressure. I am so lost. I know the culprit could could be the rear timing cover gasket (I think). I know that's a faulty gasket on the earlier G's. Only thing is, the stealership wants to charge me $1,600 in labor just to see if that's the problem or not. 😧 All thought, opinions and advice welcomed!

the vvel actuators can also cause that code. i had my gasket replaced under warranty only to have to come back the next week for the same code as the VVEL actuator that was oil starved by the leaking gallery had also failed. no other codes?

Nope, no other codes just that one.

The thing is though, I DON'T have low oil pressure. I got an oil pressure test ran and everything came out good.

ABG, what were your oil pressure readings at idle and under load?

If you don't know the oil temp, you can't trust your pressure readings.
Just for reference, my 81,000 mile G37 has 24 PSI @ 80C at idle and 58 PSI @ 2,000 RPM.
