Any feedback on the monroe shocks? Would you recommend them. I am considering replacing my original shocks and struts with Monroe in the next few months.

I have never replaced the washer, 50k miles and no issues. I remove the access cover in the skid plate to let the oil from the filter drain out. I reach around the skid plate to remove and install the oil filter.

That's good information to know. I know that Nissan has extended the warranty for the radiator to 84,000 miles (at least for some models including mine). It seems as if these radiators have some sort of timer that makes them crack just after the warranty expires.

Welcome from Birmingham. Like the color. What part of the state are you from?

I change my oil every 6000 miles. I use full synthethic Mobil 1 5W-30 and either a Mobil 1 or Purolator PureOne filter.

I had to replace my fuel sending unit which is located on the fuel pump assembly in the gas tank. I did the repair myself and paid out of pocket for the parts. Nissan later sent out a recall for the faulty fuel sending unit and I was fully reimbursed. Check with your dealer and see if your pathfinde...

I did all the 60k service myself. The diffs have holes to drain and refill gear oil. I just did a drain and refill on the AFT fluid as well. There's a drain plug on the transmission pan. Welcome to the forum!

Well I finally decided to bypass the radiator trans cooler. I just bypassed the radiator and left the auxilary cooler in place. I was hesitant to do this but I have an 05 with over 83k miles so I am out of warranty, even the extended warranty on the radiator/trans cooler. I was hesitant to do the by...

I use Mobil 1 full synethic 5W-30 motor oil in my pathfinder. I usually replace it every 6k but I'm considering going 7.5k between changes. When I replaced my gear oil a while back I also used Mobil 1 synethic, 75W-90 I believe. No problems with either one. I have found Mobil 1 to be a good value. I...

I had this same issue with my timing chain last year and had it "repaired" under warranty by Nissan. I was under the impression that the original design of the timing chain guide was faulty and that the replacement part would not have this issue. Over the last couple of weeks I have notice...
