45k on my 2017 Pathfinder. I generally drive it hard. Changed fluid at 40k, plan on it again soon. I'm not a fan of the herky-jerky-jolt when you hit the gas or let off at low speeds, but it's smooth overall and I ended up liking it a lot

I have two car payments. Why? Life's short. I want the newness, safety for the kids, advanced features. Keeping up with rust isn't worth it to me.

E34 BMWs Subaru legacy GT's -turbo/engine nightmares Both are interestingly my favorite cars I've owned out of 40+

Oil change. And pay the $150 to have it fluid filmed. Although my 2017 has a lot of crust underneath already. Can't have nice things here.

I had a rental car for the summer years ago when I was a teenager. I'd never buy a rental car. An ex-rental may have never been abused. But, how would you know?

Have mostly had these. 1997-2013 MY. Have almost 300k original miles on my 2013. 220k on my 04 DOHC, never had issues at all. Rust killed it. If you're in the rust belt, the plastic covers (if they're on) for the rockers will probably reveal....nothing at all. Rear fenders rust so easily than...

Here's the compression: 1-95 2-100 3-92 4-122 5-119 6-119 So I guess suspect cylinder #4 has the best. Cranked it 7 times each, twice around, battery kept charged. Unplugging the EGR valve doesn't do anything at idle or higher rpm, however there's vacuum in the line. Looks like 18 years of...

Well I did a few turns and none of them moved much. Crawling under the car and getting up to check over and over got old fast.

That's what I was thinking. I'll have to pick one up hopefully tomorrow, and I'll post here what I get.

I turned the crank quite a bit and it opened more and closed a little. I'm not 100% sure on it. Just replaced all intake and egr gaskets with no change at all. It REALLY did not want to rev above 4500rpm. Smoke tested it and the intake isn't leaking anymore but the holes on the underside of the...

That's what I thought, but because the rest are closed it seems like that one is bent. I've never seen one open before, they've always been closed. I mean to call them intake valves, that might clear some things up. It does have a constant bank#2 misfire, even though bank 1 had a vacuum leak...

03 Explorer V6, 380k original miles. Bad misfiring. There was a massive intake manifold leak for apparently a LONG time. Besides being nasty, everything is normal looking. After replacing everything ignition and maintanance related and no change, I pulled the manifold off to clean and replace...

I love mine in my Pathfinder. Takes some getting used to at times but it's so smooth. No worrying about up/down shifting and reving too high etc

Just an update, I caught it at the right time. Even after shutting it off there was a lot of fluid in the return line. However using vinyl wasn't the best idea as it won't stop kinking and flattening itself at every bend. Will have to get OEM hoses from a wrecked police car.

I appreciate your input! So basically there's no hose going to the lower end of the radiator, they both go in/out the top. In the picture, it's #5.(Disregard #1, diagram is for an older model. The t-stat is in #5 in mine.) You can see the nipples (only word I thought would work) sticking out the...

FWIW, my mother owns a 2013 sonata 2.0 with 130k and she hasn't had any major issues. I change her oil with rotella every 5k. Hasn't used any so far. A friend of mine had a 2014 and beat the living snot out of it on a daily basis. I believe he traded it in around 100k. I think the oil feed line...

Having to drive behind a massive Powerstroke towing an equally massive boat, who for some reason decided to pull it up the Kancamagus in the White mountains was nauseating. You would've thought his tires were on fire. Although he wasn't "rolling coal" I still found this to be grossly...

Trav- I'm not trying to be a dud but I'm not sure what you mean. Both lines join together through the t-stat and go right to the radiator. The only thing I know for sure is the hoses are in the right place. It's been driving fine, doesn't seem to be too hot. I'm thinking its not continuously...

Wdn, my 2017 has a ton of crusty rust underneath. What do you use? I've used Rust Check but it doesn't seem to last the whole year.

Dareo I agree. Especially that massive touch screen-only device that controlls 100% of functions, that is bound to break. What then?! I would love a used one but still far out of reach for me. Soon enough they will all be affordable, and outnumber the internal combustion engine.
