If your car has almost a quarter million miles on it it is quite plausible that it needs an engine replacement, Especially if it has been overheated. While it’s possible to damage an engine by driving it with too much oil in the crankcase, that may not be the whole story. If you don’t trust the guys who are looking at your car, you can get a second opinion by contacting YourMechanic. They can send a technician to your home or office to check out your knocking Nissan and let you know what are your best next steps.
