The VVEL on your engine controls the intake valves, but the exhaust still uses traditional hydraulic phasers (EVT). Nissan phasers in general are fairly sensitive to viscosity, and IVT/EVT codes are pretty common in cold weather when people use very thick oil. I think the thickest any recent domest...
I assume this is your new Armadillo we're talking about. The half quart over isn't any big worry on a VK, but the 5W40 will void your engine warranty and is likely to cause EVT codes in cold weather. Yes. Thanks for the quick reply :) I was kinda worried about that what it would do if I was half a ...
Sooo... Just had my first oil change in Germany on my bearly brand new vehicle. VK56VD motor. I gave it a 1000 mile oil change with 0w-20 and now 4000 miles later with 5w-40 which will likely remain its lifetime fill. They were not used to the VK56VD though and may have overfilled it. They charged m...
Well Finally replaced my fog lights. I know this thread is old but, wanted to chime in for future users.

Hi everyone, This is indeed a really old thread, but if anyone is still interested in installing these skid plates, the OEM Nissan Engine Skid Plate and OEM Nissan Transfer Case Skid Plate are still available at Z1 Offroad (and on eBay). I just bought both on Thursday and they arrived today via Fed...
I finally changed out my Valve covers at 252,000 miles. I had quite a bit of leakage. There was enough to cause my alternator to burn out due to the amount of oil dripping on it. Here are links to the Driver side and driver side covers. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kiZLV-Dt3izT5RR6s-PpNGpU09P6E...
