I mean it only blew and took the driver for about 3 football fields of no mans land, losing a steer on a big truck can be catastrophic

Like you, my Sentra looks a little goofy next to my dd

and I personally will never buy an ev of any sort. Nissan's have been good to me, poor mans toyota (and fords) have done great for me in life

I haven't done any long extended trips with it but its been fine running around town all day. The joke is with all the vehicles I've had in my life this one will be one of the ones that stays and will eventually just be tucked away at the farm because it did its job without issue even if it was...

The economy and my work has taken such a hit I was having a hard time making 2 huge car payments (F250 and Bronco) so I bailed on the one I had a bit of positive equity on for something totally dull and totally boring. Introducing my newest appliance. 2026 Sentra (MR20DD and a cvt) although it...

gave me ptsd, here some 20 odd years ago when those were new/brand new I was doing uhaul roadside for my dad in a 89 F150 and saw one of those everynight, plastic heater core valve likes to break, wiring like to break in various places, #8 plug was a pita so a lot of shop dudes skipped it when...

fired up the old xterra for a long mileage trip thru the jemez

when it does run it usually does a good bit of highway (say like 50-250 one way) then it runs around on trails for a weekend and runs home, I do ocassionally take it for an intown commute or food run just to keep the battery up

that was years and one oil change ago, but I had it down to basically a long block

leave the poor runner alone :( ;)

I dont have a way to get a sample without pulling the drain plug, in which case, its getting dumped anyway

I have no idea what Nissan recommended back in 02 on whatever the API rating was back then, probably 3k, totally different world. I'd imagine a vg33 is very easy on oil, it doesn't rev very high, no forced induction, port injection
