Bought my pathy at 48,000 and it's been runnin strong ever since.
At 70,000 should I be on the look out for any issues?
She's getting the Royal Purple 5w30 drain & fill today.
I'll rotate the tires next weekend and maybe give the front diff a drain and fill. The rear dif got Royal Purple gear oil in it @ 60k and the trans got got about
4-5 quarts of Royal Purple ATF. Can you notice the trend? Going all RP. Slowly but surely. As money allows.

Have you bypassed already? You're milage is under the full warranty limit, but your about to pass the first age threshold.

Believe it or not, my first line of action after purchase was to replace the radiator with a spectra premium from rockauto. I just said the heck with it and replaced it. The Pathy is truly a comfortable worry free ride so far. Knock on wood...

Sounds like you took are of the essentials. The cabin air filter is probably ready for replacement if you haven't done that.

when my dad gave me his pathy it the cabin air filter wasn't change since 2005 !!!!! I replaced that immediately as the air was so gross .
currently 166555 miles on it running strong.
just came back from June lake loop ( mammoth ) put over 600 miles ran strong the whole time.
ive asked my dad if hes ever replaced the radiator he says he THINKS so, but I think I will just replace it to have no worries.

You can tell if you look at the top tank of the radiator. If it's the original, it'll have a Calsonic sticker on the top tank with one of these part #'s: 21460-EA215, 21460-EA265 or 21460-EA200. If it has 21460-9CA2E, it's a Nissan replacement radiator. If it has no label on the top tank, it is likely an aftermarket replacement. Nissan radiators also have "NISSAN" molded into the top tank, so if there's no label and no "NISSAN" molded into the top tank, you have an aftermarket replacement, which is a good thing.
