I initially put Valvoline DEX/MERC but thinking I screwed up there. If I did a drain, and refill with Valvoline Maxlife DEX/MERC, would that mess things up?

We get an hour for most ECU repros. They rarely take more than 30 minutes, but only if the Parts Dept doesn't make you stand in line for another half waiting to look up the ROM ID. :wink:

Thanks for the reply! Planning on replacing the thermostat tonight. Any insight on how long of a process this may take though?

Also, what causes a thermostat ...

I haven’t had much to work with in diagnosing the cause of concern because nothing’s throwing any codes currently. However, I’ve recently noticed my engine temp gauge never exceeds approx 40% and is also ...

I drive a 2006 Pathfinder LE (2WD w/o OR package; 154k miles). A few weeks ago, I installed a “new” valve body (used from another 2006 Pathfinder LE). It solved the initial issue I had at hand, but I’ve began noticing some hard gear shifts (particularly downshifts too). I had flushed my ATF during ...
