I just installed Auxito 7440 bulbs in my truck, they are used as DRL’s, forward facing, probably twice as bright as the stock bulb. They definitely throw light all over which is a issue for LED’s in housings designed for incandescent/halogen but since they turn off when the headlights turn on...

Stop lamp works fine, checked it. There is supposed to be a BCM code for starter relay circuit B aka stop lamp circuit, saw it when looking into my code, but it’s not a P code so most budget scanners can’t see it.

That is also a good idea, bought it used so who knows what was spilled in there. Have had it about 6 months.

I’m kinda guessing “there when it shouldn’t be” considering I don’t have starting issues. But yeah good point. As far as I know the PNP switch is built into the shifter unit. At least it’s not supposed to be serviceable because the dealership fix for this has usually been to replace the...

Man I wish I knew a guy like Eric O., he’s 2000 mi away.

Yeah it’s out of warranty. And yeah I was trying to figure out exactly what the code meant, because that description is vague. I did try the Nissan “confirmation procedure” in their service data. The suggestion was to clear the codes, then go P>R>N>D>R>P but you wait at least 3 seconds in each...

I agree, but at the same time I don’t want to have it not start at an inconvenient moment. Just trying to stay proactive I guess.

P0615 but my truck starts fine. No warning lights on. Should I even worry about it? Comes back when it is cleared within a few drives. Just so we are all on the same page, this seems to be more about the Park/Neutral signal than the relay itself looking at service data. I am slightly paranoid...

It is a 2022 so very new.

I actually did pay for the service manual and saved PDF’s of the relevant procedures I wanted but it just repeats the owners manual, 80W-90. I don’t have access to it anymore it costs $30 a day.

I guess my question is why they would spec 80W-90? Was there some reason behind it? I’d think that 75W-90 would have been better for gas mileage if they were trying to stretch that.

Nissan calls for 80W-90 Conventional GL-5 in the front diff in the Frontier. Any reason why? Can I put 75W-90 GL-5 synthetic in there? I guess I am confused as to why it specifically says "Genuine NISSAN Differential Oil Hypoid Super GL-5 80W-90 ( con- ventional oil) or equivalent" Is this just...

So the manual has this vague note next to the oil change interval “service more frequently when operating in severe conditions: dusty, wet, muddy, high speed, frequent stopping/starting” I run this bike pretty hard, it’s a small engine, running at 12K rpm at times. I drive it on the freeway...

Yes

2022 Kawasaki Versys-300 2,499 mile interval, Supertech 10W-40 motorcycle oil. Elevated copper. Not really liking the shear on this oil, currently trying Rotella 15W-40 T6, might change to something else. To clarify it’s Supertech moto oil, JASO and all that. I am curious about the elevated...

To clarify the car is completely fixed now for me, new coolant control valve under warranty.

I’ve been using a set for about 3 years on my 2020 Mazda. I have a 07’ Mazda 3 17” OEM alloy set that has worked great. They were $25 each, $100 total I figured for that price I’d try it as a solution. I haven’t had any issues

There’s a YouTube video of a guy changing a Mazda coolant valve on a CX5(same engine) on YouTube. I’d bet you’d probably be able to tell if you had the coolant valve or not with a visual inspection after watching. Alternatively I guess walk into the nearest Mazda dealer with your vin to the...

Mazda switched to an electronic coolant valve with an integrated mechanical thermostat in 2018-19. I believe all the vehicles before that have a mechanical thermostat only. The main part in question PYFD-15-16Z(A) is what you can check, I believe it’s not listed as applicable for any vehicle...

Another update, got it to set a hard fault, check engine light on. I believe the secret to getting it to trigger is higher RPM/engine loads. Sport mode on warmup seemed to get it to trigger. I normally don’t drive like that, which is why I think I didn’t get it for so long.
