2022 Nissan Frontier Info Reveal Today

To a degree. The ones I've read of "stretched" oil changes to ~7000mi . The recommendation per the OM is 5000 using 0w20. FWIW, I use 5w30 in mine like I did in my previous port injected VQs. No engine should sludge to the point of death in 2-4yrs and under ~60K miles, even with a ~10-12K OCI IMO.
I know we talk about it often here and I'm going OT, but this situation still intrigues me. How can simply moving a fuel injector from upstream of an intake valve, to downstream have such a dramatic effect on the engine oil across all makes/models? I get there's some fuel dilution, etc. but there's got to be other reasons.
All we know at this point is the new Frontier's 3.8 is DI. It's likely to be no issue at all for this engine. Too early to tell.
That remains to be seen.
A lot of owners - in fact, maybe a majority - have their oil changed either at the dealer, or, at the local quickie lube, both of which are known to use bulk oil that‘s not the best quality, and don’t use top quality filters.
A good quality 30 weight synthetic and a good filter like a Fram Ultra and I bet those sludged engines would have been fine.
Good point. It’ll have to prove its reliability, durability, and longevity.
If it was a two chain setup with two sets of tensioners , guides, etc I'd feel better about it. But DI and a very long single timing chain just seems like a bad time in the making after the first set of owners get rid of them and didn't keep up with maintenance
i bought a new base model silverado 1500, 4.3, 4x4, n3500 for 15k in 2007, it was the outgoing gmt800 model. msrp was probably low 20’s though.

Truck looks nice, too many buttons on the steering wheel. I've always liked the Frontier. The painted corner bumpers are a negative though.
I will bet you $100 USD right now that there will be trim levels that don't have the painted corner bumpers.
If they are smart , there will be, like you say.
Is this the front or rear bumper that is the subject of discussion here ?
That looks cool but is not the same truck.
I was operating under the assumption we were discussing rear.
Front is painted in the above images.
Think I'll just keep throwing parts at my 1990 Ranger XLT with 88k miles on it. Its easy to get in and out and is getting 21mpg around town on its 2.9L. After a hip replacement I just can't make it in all these tall trucks.
So are the rear, what is your point
I was replying to the guestion below, i did not realize the rear was also painted.
