Car TalkRe: Is It Possible To Use Another Engine In A Murano? by icemann(m): 1:58am On Dec 06, 2011
Costee:
Hm, I guess that must be one school of thought for another holds that the mileage warranty was extended as an indication of the confidence level Nissan had on its CVT. Recalls are usually made in matters relating to safety, and I don't think the Murano CVT has been reported to be generally hazardous on account of its tranny. The CVT has been used on the Maxima since 2007 and there's been no adverse reviews on its reliability---or could it be that the pre-2007 CVTs were not as durable? It is surely instructive that current Maxima models (from2009) don't even have manual transmissions, they're solely CVT.
The Same CVTs and Engine since 03 bro ( My dealership mech said so) He also mention most CVT probs were caused by using the wrong tranny fluid ( most times the auto trans fluid). i guess the CVT has a different viscosity and thermodynamic properties from the Auto fluid.

The Nissan CVT is quite reliable from what i hear. Just use the recommended parts and fluid

There is a reason why Manufacturers recommend stuffs for their products. They have tested them within a range and seen how they perform. pls do read the manuals of any equipment, A LOT IS IN THE FINE PRINT

@ SIENA. The EPA ratings for a US version of your car is as high as a 6.0L BMW Sedan. I know  Driving technique, oil type, tires, fuel type etc affect the fuel consumption  of a car. Getting 20 more Break Horse Power from a naturally aspiring engine is a wonderful achievement.

I get 23.5 to 26.5MPG on my murano at 63 to 80 MPH on a high way using premium gasoline. And 15 to 19mpg in the city. These figures are quite close to the EPA ratings( 17 and 23, city and highway resp.)
I see your MPG figures and i am impressed with it. Would love if you could share with us you share with us the modifications that helped you with such numbers, some of us Don't wanna pay more for fuel grin grin

For a sedan using Aluminium engine which is 3x lighter than iron, I was expecting a lot more MPG (over the Toyota sequoia) cause u have a higher power to weight ratio

After a while new data is written on the hard drive  old sectors (areas you had old files), The rewriting  depends on how often you use your computer.

Very Very thirsty. It would be a lot cheaper if you build a filling station next to your house. LOL  grin grin

Fist bump for having a guzzler


But i haven't  seen any engine with 5 valves per cylinder. All i know is 2 intake and two exhaust, and also 3 valves per cylinder

Quad cam  shocked , thats a super engine.

@ Poster. I have seen the same stuff happen to a Nissan Maxima( They have similar  3.5L CVT Trans with a Murano). The owner got a tune up( Air filter, plugs, oil change, and Nozzles cleaned) he also had the transmission fluid changed and every thing was fine.( WITH A NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID)
The Mechanic said the engine was losing power causing the tranny was feeling the car was towing something therefor staying at high RPMs to give it enough Torque. I dont really know how a towing CVT works, but i know A gear hunting auto transmission.

The Maxima is on 125K miles and he bought it at 68K miles with a transferred warranty( I guess its the same tranny from new)

I would say do a tune up first.

I own a Nissan murano  3.5L SL AWD an on the tank its written " FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE USE UNLEADED PREMIUM GASOLINE" that means use 95 RON. I hear in Nigeria 91RON is what is normally imported. I know knock sensors correct for knocking, but you know that sticker wasn't put for no reason.(just my two cents)

Car TalkRe: Which American Car Best Suits Niaja: Considering Maintanance by icemann(m): 10:26pm On Nov 24, 2011
The general opinion is that Mercedes Benz makes the best cars in the world

From my parts buying experience in Naija, Most new parts come from china and the used ones are gotten from the junk yards of US and Europe.
With the exchange rate and cost of living in Naija, its expensive to buy a new car part from the US. That makes it expensive to maintain

Also the Naija trial and error mechanics are not experienced in American Cars (You dont want them screwing with your car)

Its safe to buy a Japanese car in Nigeria, but if You really want an American car like the poster asked, i would say a Ford (From most reviews and rating agencies).
Car TalkRe: Which American Car Best Suits Niaja: Considering Maintanance by icemann(m): 5:24am On Nov 24, 2011
I do not agree with you Sultaan

You may think the Corolla and civic are ugly but the out perform the American Junks (especially the Chrysler cars)

JD power gave the Tundra the best pick up for the past 6 years , And yes over The F150
Consumer reports Highly rates the Honda and Toyota Cars
IIHS Gave the Camry highest rating for all crash test
I have see accords wit over 220K miles with the first tranny and engine it was assembled with

I am not saying the Japs cars are the best, but they are in the game and are big contenders for the number one spot.

so debt b4 shirt purchase            = 100
debt after shirt purchase             = 100
cash at hand                                = 100
cash at hand after purchase        = 3
debt after returns  to parents      = 100-2 = 98
TOTAL DEBT                                  = 98
CASH AT HAND IS                          = 1


Net value = your present value - Debt
=1-98=-97 you are worth -97 ( you owe 98)since you have paid them 2, but  your debt is still 98

But you added your debt to your present value (  98+1) one has to be negative to give you the right answer

I think dialog with them and figure out what their problem is.
Fighting with them would only make the imams capitalize on the anti Christianity talk they give their followers
And that would spiral a new war front like jos and more People would enlist in the Rebellion
