A few days ago my G starting making a rattling noise when I would accelerate and then coast while still in gear. I thought maybe it was the heat shield for my intake not being bolted down properly and moving around when the car would accelerate but after it was screwed down, I still heard a weird rattle.
Took it to the dealership yesterday thinking it was the transmission. They said they would keep her overnight and run tests in the morning. I got a call from them today saying my G was really low on oil and that they want to run consumption tests. If it is consuming oil at a high rate, I'll get a new motor
Possibly getting a new motor

you must drive it hard. New engine is never a bad thing.

Crate engines? Any idea where I can find one, I gotta replace my entire engine.

So when you accelerate pretty hard it makes a rattling sound? Mine does the same thing, and I was told it might be from not putting high grade in, but it still does it... Maybe I can get a new motor out of it?

I don't drive it too hard, only once in a while... Gotta watch the gas consumption too!
It was really only when I was coasting while I was still in gear, when I went to neutral, the sound stopped.
