Struts and Shocks are gone. Struts leaking. Rides like a hardtail mountain bike. I go over potholes and bumps and my teeth rattle. I used to own a 99 Maxima. Had a little over 400K miles on it before it just fell apart and died.....lol. I miss that car. I did an overhaul something similar to...

I just checked with the dealer. The E4C01-9DA0JNW Strut Assembly comes pre assembled. Sachs Rear Shocks & Hitachi Tie Rods are on the way from Rock Auto & Tire Rack. About to pull the trigger on OEM Dealer parts I listed above. I've got 3 major projects in the pipeline in the next 2-4 weeks...

Thanks everyone. Here is a partial list. They don't appear to be NVA. Will go with Sachs for rear shocks which are half the price of OEM and just as good. Definitely going with Hitachi for tie rods. Everything else oem. E4C01-9DA0JNW E4C00-9DA0JNW 54618-3JA0C 54668-3JA0C 56261-JA00A 56261-JA00B...

I'm replacing the entire suspension on my 2012 Nissan Maxima SV. I can get all these OEM parts from Nissan for @ $800-$900. Are there better parts out there with different brand name I should consider such as Sachs, Moog, Mevotech, etc etc. Moog has all this stuff but as I understand, Moog...

Originally Posted By: Artem Weird that the big V6 is so sensitive to oil viscosity. Stick with the 5w30. You should be getting better gas mileage as well, which should end up saving you a LOT of money on gas over the course of the next 3-5k miles. Oh yea...Gas mileage was terrible. One would...

Originally Posted By: chubbs1 Improvement is a good thing! Thanks for sharing this with us. What wgt. oil is this vehicle originally spec'd to use? I think it is 5W30. I switched back to Valvoline 5W30 Full Synthetic MaxLife. Excellent acceleration now.

It seems the results are getting better with the Lead. I wonder if this has more to do with the frequency of oil changes which I think is flushing out the Lead as the reason the Lead content is declining. I do have slight seepage in gaskets. I also noticed with the T6, my acceleration was a...

RPMster.... I understand what you are saying and from a Standard Deviation Theory standpoint, you are correct. I was also concerned that switching may affect results until I read Joshm's thread that I cut and pasted above. He had the same problem. It appears he had about 3-4 UOA with Rotella T...

Originally Posted By: Brons2 I disagree, the silicon and insoluables are high, but not catastrophically so. To the OP: run a thicker oil like the others suggested, is my opinion. That, and $2 will get you a cup of coffee. Thanks Brons2..... I plan to add the Shell T6 today with a PureOne...

I had the same problem last year when I bought a new Linksy's router. I called Linksy's and told them the problem. They had me access this website and told me how to password protect my router. It was very easy. Just don't remember the website. Depending on when you bought your router, it still...

Itslimjim..... I used Nissan OEM filter with GC for years until 2 changes ago when I wanted to try the Bosch Extended filter for around $13. I used the Valvoline Blend Max Life with Bosch. My last change was Valvoline Max Life Full Synthetic with PureOne. I will change the oil this week and on...

Ok Everyone......Round II Just received my second oil analysis. There was improvement from last change, but, Lead still appears to be high. In the last thread back in Sept, many forum members recommended the Shell Rotella T6 after I had changed my oil with new Valvoline Max-Life 5W-30 Full...

Addyguy... Sorry for the noob questions....Are you suggesting a thicker oil due to it might be Bearing wear? I have used nothing but Synthetic Oil both Full and Blend. Is it ok to go back to Dino? What is HDEO? Thanks

Spartuss, The air filter was beat up during last oil change which was last week. Mechanic showed me where it was dirty and cracked. Will replace very soon. I had a new fuel filter put in 4 mos ago. I haven't noticed any oil consumption issues. My check engine light popped on last week. Had it...

I am not sure if this is bad news or not. Any recommendations regarding what I should do moving forward? Thanks!! http://www.gonkgonk.com/uoa_convert/images/MaximaOilChange.pdf.jpg Oil Change History Bio: 1. Oil change interval is 3,500 miles 2. Last oil change I used was MaxLife Valvoline...

Ok...I finally found this oil in NJ. It has been ordered and will be here on Mon. Go to NAPA Auto online and locate a store local to your area. Call them and see if they have in stock. If not, give them the NAPA part number which is: Part Number: VAL 179 Motor Oil - MaxLife Synthetic - 5W30 -...

Originally Posted By: blue94 It sounds like your mechanic is a good guy and it's nice to have a good relationship with a good mechanic. My point was simply that he's wrong about GC. It's thick - not thin. Also, with the exception of GC which is thicker than most, at operating temps, there's no...
