Re: Oil recommendations?

You can ask 20 different people and get 20 different answers when it comes to what's the best oil. Any API or ILSAC certified 5W30 motor oil will work just fine, conventional or synthetic. Nissan has changed their mileage intervals several times over the years, going from 3750 miles to 7500, back to...

Re: Squeaky door handles

It certainly won't hurt, but whether it will fix the noise is TBD.

Re: New Sludge Question

I believe I used to unbolt the idler arm from the frame and just lowered the linkage down for clearance. If you have a 4x4, you'll probably have to lower the front axle down or remove it. Now, that said, it's been an awfully long time since I pulled an oil pan on a WD21 Pathfinder! I would refer you...

Re: clicking and no start

Almost as smart as putting the oil filter right above the starter on VG30 engines so that oil can poor all over the starter ever time you change the oil!

Re: New Sludge Question

I've been down this road before, twice with Plymouth Dusters with Slant-6 engines and once with a customer's Pathfinder VG33E engine. My advice is to NOT use any chemical cleaners on it or try to "clean it up" unless you plan to remove the cylinder heads and send them out to be hot tanked ...

Re: RPMs bounce, SES, VDC OFF, and SLIP lights on and engine stalls - Crankshaft and Camshaft Position Sensors!!!

It's odd that one of those replacement cam sensors was plastic and the other had a metal end. Both of them are the updated part number and should have the metal end type cam sensors. Maybe someone switched them out? Anyway, the metal end was added to the sensor to help protect it from some of the he...

Re: Used Ford Broncos' at my local dealership cost..

The new ones are having a lot of problems with the removable hardtop. I believe I read they stopped production over it.

Re: Cam Shaft Seal Grooves - Please give advice!

A lot of people do the knock sensor relocation rather than remove the lower intake manifold to access it. What they use is a knock sensor and knock sensor subharness for a 95-99 Nissan Maxima, cutting the two wires on the top side of the engine to the knock sensor and using the new subharness to spl...

Re: shifter won't go into park and my search skills suck

Another possibility is the shift cable bushing has broken and fallen out. They make repair kits for this issue:

Re: 92 Pathfinder

To do it right, the head9s) should be sent out to a machine shop and checked for cracks and have the deck checked for warpage. In most cases, it's usually not a bad idea to have the head resurfaced to ensure a clean, flat surface for the new gasket to adhere to.

Re: Cam Shaft Seal Grooves - Please give advice!

Hitachi actually makes the OE fuel injectors for these engines, so I would go with them. As far as the "black" or "blue" dot, this refers to a paint dot that Nissan put on the fuel injectors to identify the spray pattern. On some injectors, they also used yellow and green paint d...
