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...

For all looking at a transmission fluid for said transmission look at Valvoline Extended Protection Automatic Transmission fluid. It states in list MB 236.17 which is the MB 9 speed. MB worked with Jaco on the transmission.

Has anyone run this oil in there trucks? I ran Rotela Truck in Caravan, however stash is gone. Will be running 5w30 in 2020 Frontier and some of the reviews claim it will shear to 5w20 but have no prove. Never ran Mobil 1 however I ran regular Mobil years ago.

Just got a 2020 with 3.8 50k. I will be running Valvoline Advance 0w20 or should I say was, however looking at history of truck it's had oil changes at quick change every 7500 to 8k. They did change it before I picked it up. Stick is clean so I don't see a problem. Would you just run Advance or...

I got a message from Nissan that they had Frontier on special so since I will be looking for a nice used truck with no idea which brand. They wanted to evaluate my Van and give me a total. I know the game. Destination fee, taxes license fee, guard protection, tire disposal fee, and of course...

How many scanners do you use. I ask cause I think I have a problem lol, according to the wife. Thinkscan plus S4 Lifetime updates mainly for quick codes. 2 dongles for carscanner app Don't use much although free Autel 808bt pro Subscription expired but works great as long as internet isn't...

For reference 2018 Caravan. I seen an article the other day while I was idle at hospital, so I didn't get a link. They were stating that to get most out of transmission you should suck out dipstick tube, which you get 2 qts approximately out of transmission every oil change. I do 30k changes if...

I just received the scan tool a couple of days ago, here are my thoughts. On Caravan it won't reset oil life without light on or Immo. It does alot of other things. On a 12 Equinox the AC is intermittent and scanner was able to read evap temp, move doors, operate compressor, fan, pressures etc...

Can someone explain why extractor recommends warm engine before extraction of oil? We now have multi grade oils so they flow better when cold. 0w and 5w are winter numbers that allow better flow when cold compared to say 30 grade. If you heat engine first then the oil will no longer have the...

A little story. Last July I went to change oil in Caravan and I swore I had enough oil. I drained oil out then went for my oil and realized that I only had I 5qt jug of Valvoline Advance 5w20 but I still wasn't concerned as I could use that then go to store for the other qt when done. I opened...

I bought the Autel MX808BT PRO a year ago so this is my review. Short review is this scanner has been worked for extensive problems on 2012 Impala without a hiccup. Used it on Caravan and Saturn Ion as well as several Nissians. Love bidirectional. Now the cons. Tool will not work without...

As title states I just finished paying off the Caravan. It has 36500 miles and 655 hours so if it continues to drive at this rate then I should get another 13 years to reach 100k. That would put me pushing 80. I always said that this was my last vehicle if it does get in an accident.

The first part was diagnosed and should have been warranty or so he thought. Anyhow this shows what a bad tech can do. In the process he got into the "black box". No more lying if insurance checks it out. Kind of scary.

2018 Caravan still has original Johnston Control battery and it was dead today. Charged for 30 minutes and came back to life. I had already ordered a battery from Walmart cause I am tight on money. Walmart Maxx battery was 50 cheaper than Autozone and 100 cheaper than Goodyear. 3 year warranty...

Time for yearly oil change. I checked records and July is the last oil change with 0w20. I know the Pentastar does care however now that I am down to 5qts of Valvoline High Milage 5w20 and Shell gas truck 0w20 qt. I will be changing up to 5w30 after this oil change so what would you do. Get a...

Debating on oil change this year. Since new once a year regardless of miles. I just checked at 10th month and I have put a whopping 2400 miles since last oil change. I could do 5k which would be close to 2 years just like I did last vehicle which took 18 months to go 5k. I am now out of warranty...

I have a 3 year old Husqvarna weedeater that needs a carburetor. I screwed now up and put a premix in can that included the gasoline last run of season and ran it dry for winter. I had a fuel line in tank that I found broken. Replaced tank and now if I get it started I have leave choke on and...

I got a call from my daughter who works in hospitality industry, about a couple that had a problem with a Chrysler 200. Customer stated that after battery replacement vehicle wouldn't start and security lights were on. Since I have a scanner I could use it to get them going and if not then they...
