Ok So is mine also a timing chain tensioner issue?? I need feedback plzz

I know there has been tons of posts on this lately. After reading a couple of guys on here experiencing this, I took a video of my engine just now.

At 3K revs, 4-4.5K, 2K, and just taps. I think I hear the whistle

I Need your intput and tell me whether i am being paranoid because I am at 58K or there is indeed a whistle sound.

Any feedback appreciated.

believe it or not that annoying whistle is your oil filter.I had that whistle on my maxima driving me nuts.I did my homework and came to find out all i needed to td was replace the oil filter after that problem solved.
