    2025 Nissan Frontier first differential fluid change - what fluid to use?

    I’m not knowledgeable on Nissan Frontiers history on the reliability side. I know they are good vehicles overall. And I read on the Gen 3’s all model levels have a Dana 44 ( M226 ) rear differential. 4 wheel drive has the E locker. I have read it is beefier than the gen2 frontier . Shafts...

    2025 Nissan Frontier first differential fluid change - what fluid to use?

    2025 frontier with Dana M226 2WD, with 6000 miles and I want to change early. Most on frontier forums say it will be dirty. GL5 75w90 is spec for it. Do we have as big of split on differential oils as we do on engine oil. I was hoping to grab a WalMart shelf bottle or Auto parts. My Walmart...

    Why don't Honda/Acura V-6 Owners Replace Their Timing Belts?

    I personally like the belt over a chain myself.

    These filters can be cranked down!

    Glad this thread happened. I’ve used Carquest premium twice now. The very first time I did it old school. Just touches and 3/4 more of a turn. It wouldn’t go 3/4. I was concerned but it never leaked. I always just hand tighten.meaning as tight as I can turn it. Which is normally 3/4. I...

    How long will you run an oil based on time, low miles on oil?

    I had a tundra that I put about 4000 miles a year on. I did once a year on it. I once let it go two years. I didn’t sleep well at night. I used Pennzoil Platinum in it.

    Went in for a Carquest premium. Left with a Fram .

    I know the word Fram can be scary. But I went into AutoZone for a Carquest Premium air filter. $20. The parts guy told me he still had some Fram Titanium for $7 . I bit. I opened it up and it was good to go. So that’s my scary story. Wardawg
