I’m not knowledgeable on Nissan Frontiers history on the reliability side. I know they are good vehicles overall. And I read on the Gen 3’s all model levels have a Dana 44 ( M226 ) rear differential. 4 wheel drive has the E locker. I have read it is beefier than the gen2 frontier . Shafts...

I can’t add to the conversation really. But grew ip with V8’s. All my dad used was Castrol 20W50. Now the knowledge about oils wasn’t out there like today. This is the 1970’s and 80’s. We had Chevy 400 sb . Ford 390’s and ford big block 427 & 428. But here is my cougar. I bought it and it...

Product I used. Amazon is where I ordered it from.

Here is the after pictures.

Ok like to say thanks for the advise and tips. I used the Bkack Magic Blech wite . Had to do it twice. Got 95% of the brown off. The dern Hanooks AT tires gave these tiny little raised lines wrapping around the sidewall. Makes cleaning them a pain in the rump. But I bought some Areo...

Thanks for the reply’s. I just got back from Walmart. Grabbed 3 bags of the Valvoline 75W90. Didn’t even see Mobil brand. They had Super Tech . I truly wanted to go to tried and true 75W140. But in the back of my mind WARRANTY. Who the heck knows . CAFE probably. But other than big...

2025 frontier with Dana M226 2WD, with 6000 miles and I want to change early. Most on frontier forums say it will be dirty. GL5 75w90 is spec for it. Do we have as big of split on differential oils as we do on engine oil. I was hoping to grab a WalMart shelf bottle or Auto parts. My Walmart...

This is how I did it growing up. Especially when white letters was the norm. I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

Holy crap. As old as I am , I learned something new today. I will leave it be and mentally try to accept it. lol

I have put some tire shine on my tires several times. The vehicle was new. These are AT tires. The tires are brown now. What’s an easy way to get the brown off . Just a tire cleaner spray and rinse. I just scrubbed the with car wash soap and a nylon brush. No/Go . I’m not putting nothing...

I got to ask . Why on his part ????

I personally like the belt over a chain myself.

Ha. My first car was a 64 corvair. Automatic with shifter on the dash. I got in 83 when I turned 16. I bagged groceries at a piggly Wiggly.

Glad this thread happened. I’ve used Carquest premium twice now. The very first time I did it old school. Just touches and 3/4 more of a turn. It wouldn’t go 3/4. I was concerned but it never leaked. I always just hand tighten.meaning as tight as I can turn it. Which is normally 3/4. I...

Was servicing my Frontier and a light bulb went off I have never changed the air filter in my wife’s 2023 HRV . I did the math and it’s 3 1/2 years old. Where does time go ??!! But only 11,500 miles on vehicle. To end this ramble got a CQ Premium and did the deed. It’s dirtier than I figured...
