    options for undercarriage rust protection?

    I live in North Carolina. I’ve searched lightly, for a shop service that does it professionally. Kinda don’t exist in my neck of the woods. I’m still searching. I don’t have a rust problem. But wanted to put a protective layer on it for years down the road. I want to keep this truck. 2025...

    options for undercarriage rust protection?

    I have used fluid film. It did a good job of protecting my Toyota frame. I used the rattle cans. It was messy. But I’m willing to do it again. But is there anything easier to slide under there and hit the frame and rear end to give it mild protection. I don’t live in a salted area. They...

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Had a couple of discount codes for an order that got destroyed by fed x / wal mart online order. A $5 & $10. Got to use them with an on line order. So I got these. The 10w30 conventional is for my Murray push mower. Take 1/2 quart. It’s yearly oil change. I paid $19 for one 6 quarter...

    Havoline pro DS. Equal to the other top wal mart oil selection ?

    My Walmart had the Havoline Pro DS on the shelf. It’s been a while since I seen it. I can’t say I saw PUP there. Could be but I was passing through. I had to order it on line to get $10 off. On line deal. I just did a pick up. Wardawg

    Havoline pro DS. Equal to the other top wal mart oil selection ?

    I had a $10 off rebate from Walmart online. So I ordered a box of the Havoline Pro DS 0w20. 6 quart box for $19. I’m hoping the truck likes it. No increase in noise from the engine and no using of oil as they say. I’ll be a new fan. For $29 for 6 quarts is likable . Especially me doing a...

    Havoline pro DS. Equal to the other top wal mart oil selection ?

    Yeah the 6 quart box hits me just right. I can pour the left over in a used oil jug and use it when I get enough saved up. I have a direct injected engine. Nissan VQ38DD I short trip it 70% of the time. I live 2 miles from my tiny local town. A round trip might be 5-6 miles. I will...

    Havoline pro DS. Equal to the other top wal mart oil selection ?

    Reading several post in here about new specs coming out for all oils. Havoline got mentioned. Is Havolines Pro DS running neck to neck with PUP and Valvoline Restore and protect ? As far as breaking down the numbers and science behind it. Yall definitely get deeper than my understanding of it...

    Did my first oil change. Installed this particular oil filter. It’s simply says 3/4 - 1 turn after contact on the tightness. It really kinda stopped at 2/3. I was able to get it to 3/4 but it was pure muscle and hand cramps. I now will stop at 2/3 next time. I guess the rubber gasket are not...

    Nissan frontier VQ38DD first oil change

    The steering is old school truck steering. It’s hydraulic steering. Folks say it heavy steering. I won’t go that far. It’s not electric steering. I’m use to it now. I don’t notice it. And you won’t unless you’re at a stop or maybe a slow roll. Wardawg

    Nissan frontier VQ38DD first oil change

    To get to the drain plug you have to remove 5 bolts. Easy peasy. The shield/ pan is plastic. But solid enough. The oil filter access cover is also plastic. Two bolts on that. It actually has a plastic pan/ shield over the transmission pan area . I swapped the factory drain plug with a Z1...

    Nissan frontier VQ38DD first oil change

    New truck. Direct injection. First DI only engine I have owned. I had 1117 miles on it. Early change. The oil came out black. Not use to that. At 1000 miles on it. I’m a short tripper. I’ll do the severe oil change intervals. I can’t see running a DI only engine on out there. Oil is cheap...

    Unwilling to accept the data, staying with 2-3k oil changes

    I just got a GDI vehicle. 0W20 is the only oil listed in the owners manual. I’m a short trip person. I’m definitely going to do the severe oil change schedule. 6 months or 3000 is what I’m going to do.

    2025 Nissan frontier 3.8. 0w20

    I was trying to keep it simple. But I drive right by an advance auto on my way to Walmart. Lol. Thanks for the info. What’s so **** disappointing is someone will make a really great filter , get bought out and then change it from why you bought it in the first place. We all here think and...

    2025 Nissan frontier 3.8. 0w20

    After all the research reading. Filter cut open videos. Personal recommendations from yall. I think I’m going to go with Walmart Mobil 1 Extended 0w20 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic XG 7317 . Am I missing anything. I’m overpaying for what I’m doing. Once a year oil change. 3-5000 miles most...

    I installed these steps. Made out of steel and powder coated. Got them out of a jeep parts website. I really liked them. I can not remember who or what they was. But heavy duty made. Wardawg

    2025 Nissan frontier 3.8. 0w20

    I don’t have this anymore. I wished I still did. But it was a daily driver when I got it. Being a third weekend vehicle would have been perfect. The water leaks when it rained drove me crazy. But as they say “ It’s a Jeep thang “. 2 door is the only way to go. The turn radius is crazy. I...
