@NISSPARTS... I was the one that called you earlier today asking you about fx35 shocks....

Anyways, I just picked an fx35 and I would like to go ahead with first servicing the car so I need the best recommended oil for servicing and also filter.... I also will have my mechanic check it out tomorrow cos the two front wheels are making some funny noise and will like to have useful advise on how to proceed with this ride and enjoy it the perfect way...

Gracias!

Recommended oil grade is 5w30.
You can call to get one

Thanks for your prompt response....... do you have any ideal make ?

I think I need to get myself a digital gauge. I spent ten minutes arguing with a vulcanizer over why my 17" tires should not be inflated to 45psi.

sorry this has nothing to do with tyre pressure, but, since its a nissan/infinity thread i might as well go for it. it has to do with the fact that am getting excessive, needless heat into the cabin of my 04 max SL. it doesnt matter what the weather is like, as soon as the car warms up the engine heat gets transferred into my glove box, the center tunnel and also from under -neath the steering wheel area. i have disconnected the heated seats thinking its part of the problem, but, no cigar, sir! i have always made sure to adjust the heating all the way down and also switched the vent controls to vent air from outside all to no avail. any of you folks experience this discomfiting situation as i avoid using my aircon frequently due to fuel consumption worries.
any pointers in the right direction appreciated.

Pls any fx35 user who can hint on me the perfect oil filter for my servicing....

Nisspart hinted me to but 5W-30 oil but the attendant told me all they have is 0-40 Mobil 1. Can i still use that in the absence of the 5W-30 oil prescribed?

Sir, why not purchase from nissparts if he sells. Besides, if attendant told you what they have; you can always go elsewhere in search of what your car works with. Note: Some specs don't joke with recommended oil.

Your catalytic converters are blocked. Next your engine will overheat, your ignition coils will go bad, and the vehicle will struggle to accelerate.....if you dont get it fixed now.

@joe980 thanks I thought of that too but I was too tired to start looking for his shop at 6:00pm are you saying i can't use the one I bought ?

16,000 don burn be that ahahaha I can see nissparts strolling by whistling and smiling in an unknown tongue.


I asked him what make he didn't respond so i figured he didn't come on here today at all even my oil filter question still left un answered.

I miss luvinhubby sha.....

@drumma... If you have not filled your engine with it, would advice you wait for his response. Most of the oils we use that ain't manufacturer's specs wears the engine. #16k ain't much a sacrifice to replacing an engine before it's life span.

First, 0w40 is too thin but it wont damage ur engine. Worst case it will burn faster than it should.
2nd, you only need 4.7 litres and the Mobil 1 you bought comes in 1 litre bottles as well so u did not have to buy 2 gallons.
Is this your first vehicle??

*whistling*

Thanks nissparts.... this aint my first car just dropped a 2007 honda accord to pick this fx35... and i never had any issues with servicing the honda because it was easier to get the Honda genuine oil..... can i come to you place this morning to pick up the servicing kits ? and can i POSSIBLY get to sell the 2 gallons of 0-40 oil i bought?

Will appreciate your prompt response so I can jet out of the house soon... as i wanna get it serviced before 12noon...


And stop blowing that whistle please....

so, what exactly does the fix entail in terms of parts and cost? are we talking about replacing ignition coils (i have had a misfire (DTC code 0300) for a while now), but, curiously no cat. converter-related codes as at the time of writing. engine idle is slightly erratic and exhaust output is steam-like i.e. water vapour. pardon my ignorance, but, is there any fool-proof way to test the operational efficiency of my cats? sorry to bug you with all these questions, but, its better to be safe than sorry, you will agree. thanks.

The bolded part above is why your catalysts are blocked.
Driving with multiple cylinders misfiring will block your catalysts with unburnt fuel.
Go through my thread explaining catalyst issues.
Have a mechanic remove whichever of your catalyst is easier and you will clearly see it clogged or even broken up.

A member here with the same vehicle had the same issue 2 months ago which was fixed at my place.
He may see this thread and chip in as well

thanks a bunch for the info. will see if we can hook up this weekend, say, saturday. i believe you are some where on the mainland (akoka) if memory serves me right.

Anyone know how much infinity G35 coupe, around 2006 would cost ?

It will be interesting. The best fuel efficiency cars: (Nissan is on the 3rd place)

1. Toyota Prius Hybrid -- The most popular hybrid car on the road today, this sedan is roomy and comfortable, and average on performance.
2. Honda Civic Hybrid-- The Civic has Honda's sporty performance and handling, but is a bit lacking on acceleration. A very efficient car, but a bit small for families.
3. Nissan Altima Hybrid -- One of the largest hybrids because it's a mid-size sedan, but rear sea

Make sure you call first and prepare for a whole day job if we are going to take out the converters.

The solution is to switch to quality brake pads. If you do use quality,then the brake system needs a proper diagnosis to ascertain what is wearing the pads at an alarming rate.

What type of brake pads do you use and how much do they cost?

@aieromon,thanks for positive. Contribution I don't no the name of the brake pad my mechanic do use for me,but if you can recommend one I will be happy sir

Please do

I am buying a tokunbo car in the range of N1.5m and I like the look of Nissan Pathfinder. Can you please give me a review of the SUV from Naija point of view in terms of fuel consumption, ruggedness, maintenance cost, frequency of problems/faults, etc

Is there a better alternative of this same SUV build vehicle within the same price range but my choice is Nissan Pathfinder, so you can give a candid review and suggest the alternative if you think it's not worth it

Thanks

@aieromon.... please see see attached file per scan result in order of sequence....

You need to see a competent autoelectrician to check the connectors and ground wiring. The a/c fan should be checked as well.

I wonder why your baby is misbehaving.....
