Where I live there is a gas station that prices Premium at the price of mid-grade every Thursday. I now fill on Thursday no matter what is left in the tank. I think that in that case 3 cents CAN a liter (or about 14-15 cents US a gallon) is reasonnable.
[My saga continues with this light on my new vehicle . . . apparently it is NOT the gas cap afterall. Full report pending.]
Nissan recommends to change oil at every 3750miles, but why do I have to change every 3000 miles. Is there any specific reason. Dealer says its better for engine reliabity but I think it's just a way of making fast money for them. What would you people recommend whether to change at 3750 miles or 3000 miles.
Lastly, and unrelated, one of my auto mags just showed a 2005 Pathfinder-type with a 5.6L 300 HP engine...that would be some vehicle, eh???
Thanks for the help on the comparison above...sometimes I get confused with the details, especially when the vehicles are not side by side, as they never are except in an auto show...
2003 4Runner is still v. cramped inside. If cargo capacity is a concern, I would stay away from it. It has about as much space as a JGC in the cargo area w/ rear seats folded --which is hardly any. Also, you will be paying a price premium since it's a Toyota. They're overpriced in this area.
Thanks.
I've had my '03-PF-LE for 4mths and 10,000milies later I really like it. Check out message #6527 for my comments. I drove it on a cross country road trip and it was really comfortable. In fact I bearly let my cousin drive because I was having fun, especially in the lake effect snow of North Western NY. I do wish the lumbar support offered better support though. Overall the trip was great.
As far as price I paid $31,1050 with satellite radio, tow hitch, clear bra, and micro filter @ 2.9% finance rate.
Hope this helps. If you have any more questions just ask...
Anyone delt with the slight rattle noise behind the center AC vents in the dash? Is there a TSB on it?
Going to take Pathy to dealer for rear suspension bottoming out under load and Outside temperate Display inaccuracy TSBs this week.
I now own a 2003 PF LE and want to add the deflector myself (new dealer wouldn't add this on for me - but they did add a front bugshield though)...
Has anyone installed the Nissan rear window deflector on their LE? Are there any aftermarket versions of a rear window deflector out there>? How hard are these to install?
I suppose I could pay for labor to have it installed by the dealer - but I'm not sure how much they want to charge me...and if it's not too complicated I'm okay doing it myself...
Thanks for any info!
2003 version

may not have the part (made by Clarion, I have been told), but since they are not providing any response, I don't know for sure. I encourage anyone thinking about getting a satellite radio in a new Nissan to get the port-installed radio and not risk the dealer-installed option, as I did.
Thanks for the link....I may indeed order that one from irontoad.com
Also got a 15% off any Nissan accessories coupon from my dealer today...and I may just get the Nissan one from my dealer using the coupon.... it comes out to be about the same cost.
Still undecided on if I'll do the install myself or not - seems easy enough though...just gotta find the time!

Well, it's been perhaps 2 weeks now and above meesage still constantly lit (not flashing). I have filled tank several times and was sure to tighten the gas cap securely each time.
Is it time to take her in? Unfortunately, I'm over my 3 year/36000 miles bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Service guy thought he was being helpful telling me that the repair might have been covered by warranty if the problem had occurred <60K Kms....
