Brake Cleaner. Soak then change oil before you start vehicle. Run up to temp and change. You can use cheap oil and filter for first oil change.

The only thing that helped mine was turning off econ button. Mine always seemed to have a misfire however never showed up on scanner. I would get random misfire showing but never a code. Then transmission started flaring and fluid change didn't help so I traded it in at 40k just out of warranty...

2012 Impala AC doesn't work at idle and battery saver comes on. Idle is erratic as well. Checked amps with scanner and amp meter. Reading 50 amps at 2500 rpm and -100 amps at idle with voltage dropping. Looked for red battery light and none. Warranty out alternator at Autozone only to get a dud...

I just changed the oil in my Frontier with new engine at 1000 miles on the engine and it was full of debris as well.

2020 Frontier 3.8 Out Mobil 1 0w20 Nissian Filter In Valvoline Advance 5w30 Mobil 1 filter 53219 miles Had 1000 miles on oil. Changed due to new engine. Dropped a quart of oil.

I looked it up and it supercedes to a 500 cam. Mc Kenly Texas shows it. Claims it can be ordered. Applies to most 3.6l other than Caravan. https://parts.chryslerjeepdodgecityofmckinney.com/p/Jeep_2019_Wrangler-RUBICON-36L-V6-AT-4WD/CAMSHAFT--CAMSHAFT-KIT-Intake-Left-Side/142437349/68661146AA.html

Be careful as if you have an intake cam failure on 19 up, they are on infinite backorder.

Just got a report of another 3.8 bearing failure. This time 24 Frontier with 4500 miles. Owner stated they want to do a short block. I think with these bearing failures I will go to 5w30 after 1k mile break in since new engine replacement which will be around the first of month. I feel 5w30 will...

Still question is Louisiana heat and delivery which oil. Mobil 1 or Valvoline Advanced. For a couple of bucks there EP Valvoline.

It was warranted. Never leave it running unless I see it. Doors automatically lock when I walk away then unlock once I go to get in while it’s running.

Shell, Exxon, Chevron and Texaco is all I use.

Low speed pre ignition. This is tested on turbo and non turbo. https://engineprofessional.com/articles/EPQ218_42-46.pdf

3.8 di engine. Acceleration in traffic under 2k-vibration then boom. Sounded like a rod came loose. 52k and regular oil changes at 7500 which is according to the manual to be correct. Don't know oil or gas used as I bought used 2k miles ago.

Well got the 2020 Frontier 3.8 back after a month with new engine. Nissan recommends a break in period of 1000 miles with limitations on rpm to 4k, and keep a varied rpm. Oil change is recommended at 5k. They couldn't tell me what caused failure so I looked at history, which oil changes were...
