I was really disappointed in purchasing Kirkland a couple of years ago (seemed to burn off quite a bit) and have stuck to the M1 since.
Sad to hear but good info.
(next oil change Valvoline Syn HM 10w-40 or Valvoline Syn 5w-40)

Re: Oil Change 5 miles ago : )

you are a hero! Interesting that you've dropped into the 0W-40 category. This oil has "Nissan Genuine Performances" approval on the M1 Website. Unsure what this specifically means. In that 0W spec, would it have a higher detergent package to goes with? I'm assuming that Euro specs drive t...

Oil Change 5 miles ago : )

With Mobil 1, 0w-40. Originally was not a fan of either M1 or any oil with that big a spread. But M1 has gone back to PAO base lube stocks in past decade and the new (as in past 5 yrs) 0w-40 apperantly has such a good base stock it does not need much VII ( viscosity index improvers) to spread all th...

Re: Washer Pump Motor - Nissan Part #28920-7S000

Wow so you were able to just find the pump?
When I had my R51 pump replaced it was with reservoir...
Pump does seem that great IMO since the squirt seems a bit light to me on that unit..

Re: Loss of power in 4low going up steep hill

12600 feet is a lot of altitude for a non turbo engine. Having said that, a loose sensor connection or a sensor going out comes to mind. Like a camshaft postions sensors. Yours are probably about due anyway. I had them go out on my V6 NIssan Xterra (identical powertrain to yours except for driveshaf...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

Keep in mind, mine is a V8 model so part numbers may be different as mine has a higher curb weight than yours (I assume yours is a V6 as th...

We took our Pathfinder, packed it with all her personal items that she wanted to bring, even put a ski box on top and packed it full as well. 2800 kms total trip, through the Rockies in both directions and it was an almost flawless trip. ...
