    Engine Oil

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    help please! I feel like such a neebie.. I'm about to change the engine oil on my pathfinder and I'm nut sure if this is really the ENGINE OIL drain plug.. its so small.. I'm confused :crazy:

     

    is it really the one I got circled in red in the following picture?

    where can I get an oil analysis? how much does that cost about?

     

    Also when I change to amsoil for the first time should I do some kind of rinsing? like removing my old oil.. put in a quart of amsoil run the engine a minute, dump that oil then put in my new oil? if so, at what point should I put in my new oil filter?

    Oil Filter:

    As for Oil, the recommended Amsoil viscosity for your car is 5W-30. You can use either:

    or

     

    http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/xlf.aspx

     

    Even though the ASL says it can go up to 25k miles, I still change at 5k along with the filter. When in doubt, go here.

    ah! here we go ;)

    The ASL / EA stack looks like a winning combination to me! They do say in the specs that the oil & filter can last up to 25k.

     

    thanks!

    What odb-II software do you guys use on a pathfinder? I have a usb cable that connects from my laptop to the odb-II swith under the dash. On my vw I use vag-com but that software is made for vw and audi's only.. any equivalent software for a pathfinder?

    warped brake rotors possibly. where did you buy it at? take it back there and have them fix it.

    I'm not too worried about where I bought it! Got another truck from them before and they fix everything within 30 days of your purchase without having to fight for it. I even got them to trade the truck I had bought for this pathfinder cause I hated the other truck. (Ford escape) No idea why the hell I had bought that piece of @!*% LOL!! Offcourse I had to give in a bit more money but all I can say is I'm glad I did cause my pathfinder is awesome -bounce-

     

    my intention now is too get everything verified by a 3rd party and then just bring it back to them and give them the list of things to fix :aok:

    I'm new to my 2003 pathfinder LE. Just got it this week. However I find that when I break I get a lot of vibrations. I'm gonna get it checked this week but in the mean time I'm wondering if this is my brakes or is it possible that it is my tires that do that? since I got it with brand new winter tires but there's no snow yet? I can't compare with how it was before since I just got the truck.

    newbie tire size question

    Finaly got my truck! its a silver 2003 LE instead of the 2002 ;)

     

    anyway.. on with the tires. I guess I will have to go with a lift ;)

    I'm going to do this after winter since I got the truck with brand new winter tires.

     

    How does the truck feel with a lift? is there any lift / suspension combination that can make this truck go woooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! you know what I mean? super smooth ride that you don't feel the bumbs. kinda like a range rover but without breakdown issues of a range rover :laugh:
