Radiator cap looks good. Can anyone tell me if the mostly clear tranny fluid with slight hint of brown is normal?

I understand some slight mpg loss during winter but this is a sudden loss of like 20% It makes no sense. I would like to believe it could be a stuck open thermostat.... also what about the slight brown hint of color in the tranny fluid?

Over the past 2 weeks I've become more worried over my 08 pathfinder. First alarm to go off was a sudden massive drop in fuel economy with no driving changes and same fuel. From 350 miles per tank to barely 300. That got me to checking more. The rear heater is sporatic sometimes no heat at all when ...

I to was wondering this last night. I've been doing my own research with gas. Just switching from regular to premium netted me 50 more miles. Now I'm on my first tank of premium no ethanol added fuel and seeing how this does. As for the OP, my **** cuts on at less than 10 miles to empty. My last tan...

Something doesn't seem right. I thought transmission fluid was supposed to have a red color.someone p...

Hate to sound so unknowledgable about all this but ive checked all under the hood and don't see anything or anyway to check the fluid. What am I missing?

Is the bypass necessary? Everything is great with my 08 SE so far. Are all trannys destined to fail?

I want to check my transmission to make sure all is good there. What all should I check for to make sure everything is fine?

My first tank on regular netted 305 miles but when I filled up I only managed to get 18.5 gallons in it. I don't understand when the manual says it a tad over 21 gallon tank. Any explanation there? One other thing, the biggest issue I keep hearing its a transmission cooler leading coolant into the t...

Hello there, I just purchased a used 2008 pathfinder as we are expecting our third child this fall. It appears to be a really nice vehicle and its my first four wheel drive. What all should I be aware of with this vehicle? Any known issue? I'm also very curious about fuel millage and whether I shoul...
