hey guys, I have run out of ideas for things to tune up...ive done the basics I suppose (any other suggestions are appreciated) and decided it seems like most of you agree with changing the fluids so thats up next.

anything certain cleaners or steps ppl prefer? I saw the list of everyones fluids used in the garage section.

I would not use any cleaner/flush products in the cooling system. A drain & fill of the radiator and overflow reservoir will be sufficient. Use distilled or demineralized water only for the service.

 

The brake bleed order is:

 

1. LSV air bleeder (Models equipped with LSV)
2. Left rear brake
3. Right rear brake
4. Left front brake
5. Right front brake
6. R-ABS actuator (Models equipped with R-ABS)
I don't think any WD21 has an LSV (load sensing valve) so ignore that one.
Use any GL-4 fluid for the manual trans. Amsoil MTG or Redline MT-90 are good choices. Open the fill plug first, otherwise if you can't get it loose you ain't going nowhere. Is your Pathfinder 4WD? If so, you'll need to overfill the trans; see this thread.
Done the power steering fluid, differential(s), fuel filter, engine air filter (if it looks really dirty)?
Got slack in the accelerator pedal? Adjust it according to FE-2 and also see EL-63 for adjusting the cruise wire.
