I have a Duralast platinum in my Mazda 3 from 2016!! It’s now 2025 and finally is giving up.

Do the DE rev up motors have gallery gasket issues? Or was it just the HR?

Nice job, NV! Excellent narration of experiences, very useful / unbiased* BAT comments. 👍 Much appreciated. *. Unbiased IMO. That is, your liking and approval of AZ is fair and integrity based.

Great tips on steps to take on any used vehicle. You Mention off-roading it… any reason you didn’t go with a more capable vehicle like a 4-runner?

is the gx really worth it? i mean that valley plate leak and transmission issues are major turn off on these cars? do you know if the leak still persists on the 2020 later models? m thnking on getting one

I have never had any issues with oil temperature, but I live in New Zealand, yes it can get pretty hot and driving conditions are full on, but never had any issues. Thank you for letting me know about the cool off ! Appreciate your tips. No problems with oil consumption either. (2009) still running smooth.

Nissan has always been famous for having very poor paint jobs coming out of the factory I think they skimp on a few layers of clear coat

I'd def. bring my GX to this guy if he were local!

Number 8 happened to me today left me stranded in a parking lot you have to do the bypass for this to avoid this problem

Forgot to check the filter on the 2nd air injection which is easy and can cause an expensive problem!!

Looks amazing btw. What wheel/tire combo are you running on yours? My Radflo lift goes on in 2 weeks and im trying to gauge what its gonna look like after. Thank you in advance!

You better get ready for a VALLEY PLATE coolant REPAIR really soon! THAT MODEL IS NOTORIOUS! 💪❌, Good luck!

I notice it is a CR Recommended; Group 24 & 24F car batteries, Duralast Platinum 24F-AGM Car Battery! Which is why I bought (11/18/24). 2nd being that I live in Western PA, weather can be a factor and the lifespan could be 4 years and can last a little longer than 3 years!

I took my car to Nissan dealer, they told me $4800 to get all inside done like gaskets, water pump, belts, oil, coolant fluid…..😮😮😮😮😮😮

good video, what do each of those gallerys do though? Like what path is it sending the oil to specifically, to the vvt phaser or something?

I’ve been having my z for a year and 5th gear is feeling scratchy, I’m going to change the fluid to redline, not sure if this will resolve the issue:(

I live in Indiana in the rust belt . How does the frame hold up ?

I recently picked up 2014 GX460. Just starting to decide on lift and mod. I was wondering how bad those heavy tires further wrecked the already poor gas milage?

Platinum 9 years in my Jeep still good.

You missed the driver door rattle issue. Went to the dealership and it was $2154.56 to have the window regulator replaced.

My engine runs great I'm sure the last owner fixed those gallery gaskets but how much they cost to fix

It’s true guys, I have a 370z 2017 and it has 30,000 miles on it, my clutch slave cylinder blew out yesterday 😢

Are all 2013’s immune to the oil gallery gasket issue? Is that confirmed because I see conflicting statements online and can’t seem to find an official answer from Nissan or Infiniti anywhere. Are we sure the 2013’s have this issue fixed?

i’m getting mine swapped now but how long do they last? they are doing my timing chain, gaskets, and the water pump i believe and im at 130,000.

Hey! So I know my 350z HR needs gallery gaskets but I was wondering if it’s possible if my intake cam sprockets need replacing too I have a p0011, p0021 and p0300 car runs very rough for the first mile and then it seems to clear up also has a very hard time starting sometimes. Are these symptoms related to gallery gaskets also or should I also need to replace my intake sprockets?

This is NOT a repair for someone new to auto repair. Especially on the transverse mounted vq engines like the pathfinder. It’s quite the task.

Excellent video! I love the way you explain the problem, what it takes to repair it, and what else you may as well address while you're working on the engine. Very well done sir!

My Dec 2023 GX 460 pulsates when the break is lightly pressed in slow motion either forward or reverse gear, Bob Johnson Lexus in Rochester, NY says there is nothing wrong with the SUV, everything is as per spec and this is a design problem from Lexus. Wonder if any others have the same problem, I never had this issue with the three 4Runner Limited's that I owned in the past. There is no vibration while breaking at higher speeds, issue is only at very low speeds like when you move slow in bumper to bumper traffic with break half pressed. I feel the pulsations on my legs and arm rest, there is no vibration on the steering wheel.

I bought one today. 2017 69000 miles. I got an extended warranty to 150k just in case but hopefully that will not be used much.

Middle of summer 90 degrees in new england... AC full blast at idle got to 192ish steadily on a g37S same thing but I have the mishimoto thermostat so it might help.. I heard it lets it open at a few degrees cooler

Great video. Now three years later wondering which repairs were done on this GX? Was the coolant leaking fixed?Thanks.

Coolant low in reservoir. Is that due to valley plate leaking?

I've always loved the way the 370Z looked but at 6'5'' 245 I'm not small enough to fit into one. I fit fine into my GX460 tho!

The fact that they’re telling you to fix it is crazy. Most stores will tell you that if you tried to fix/service any warrantied product on your own, it voids the warranty because only a “certified technician” can work on it. I personally think that they should’ve granted the warranty right away. What else is the warranty for?

would you have purchased the vehicle knowing all this?

Amazing

Yo i just got a 2015 Nismo Tech with 66k and mannn I'm absolutely loving this car!! Also, is it bad the car hits around 220 oil temp? Its always about 100 plus in my area atm lol

The reason a fully functional alternator would fail to "CHARGE" a dead battery... is because the battery is discharged too low. When a battery is discharged below 2 volts... too much of the electrolytes are chemically bonded to the Cathode Plates. The more a battery is discharged, the more energy that is required to debond the electrolytes off of the Cathode Plates, so they can dissolve into solution, & bond to the Anode Plates, rebuilding the battery's Electrical Potential. This is why dead batteries need a Boost Charge from a high (60 - 150 Amp) battery charger to debond the electrolytes, & then switch to a low (1 - 3 Amp) maintain function to keep the electrolytes bonded to the Anode plates until the battery's Electrical Potential is stablized. Once the cathode plates have been desulfided... the battery will leak down at it's normal rate, holding its charge for the normal period of time. The reason alternators typically fail to achieve this, is because most of their power output does not pass through the battery, & what does pass through, remains relatively constant & does NOT get regulated down to a low 1 - 3 A trickle charge. A 60 Amp alternator stays running at about 60 Amps... a 130 Amp alternator stays running at about 130 Amps... etc., with only about 10 - 15 Amps going to the battery. Now on newer cars that are equipped with a battery voltage sensor on the negative terminal... the ECU does regulate the amperage passing through the battery. When the battery is fully charged... the ECU will regulate the current to 1 - 3 A, only allowing a trickle charge to enter the battery. When the battery has very low voltage... the ECU will regulate a boost charge into the battery, allowing most of the alternator's current output to pass through the battery, & progressively step down that Amperage to a 1 - 3 A trickle charge. Note... vehicles that have these type of charging systems need to have a Battery Reset Function performed, when a new battery is installed, or the ECU will not properly regulate the recharge cycle of the new battery. This is because once the ECU gets use to boost - triclkle charging an old battery... it will continue to charge the new fully charged battery this way, causing it to over heat during the boost charge cycle & causing permanent sulfication on the plates... thus shortening the battery's lifespan.

Makes me skeptical of buying a manual. 😢. Looking at a 2014

These issues typically pop up from abuse and neglect.

Looks great & I love the chop, great job. License frame says Westside, which I assume is Westside Lexus in Houston? Which shop do you use? Looking for a competent shop myself

You're not showing anything 😮

Hope is not an underground garaga

Was your GX a CPO? Why didn’t the selling dealership repair the issues before selling?

Me who works at autozone watching this.Trying to see if an agm batteries are worth it.And actually u could’ve had ur battery charged at Autozone instead of going through all that hassle

Did you ever figure out center cap situation?

Very good review about this battery, I got mine brand new for 100.00 bucks including shipping, in ebay I believe I was lucky to got this price, so when I watched this video I go quickly and I bought it… If I do not watch this video I never probably buy this battery …good review plus you have a new subscriber…

I appreciate your insight. 2013z (stock) 21000 miles. Excellent sports car so far. Had the gas gauges issue with a service light. Fixed by pulling the fuel level sensor on the drivers side, shook it and reinstalled with some gasket lube. 3 days later the service light is off. Thx for the video. We'll see whats next 😅

Does this apply to infiniti m37 aswell?
