2008 Nissan Armada Oil Change

[@Tumusica311]

I have an 07 and they put conventional oil then synthetic and back to conventional. Will that mess the truck up?

[@seanysockets7391]

Everything i have heard says that it shouldn’t hurt it at all! These things are made for conventional but i actually just switched to synthetic. runs fine. I wouldnt put conventional in anything meant for synthetic though.

thank you very much for the video, going to change my oil this weekend.

[@seanysockets7391]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

Did u say the drain plug was a 14mm?another video said 19mm just making sure

[@seanysockets7391]

Yes, mine has a 14 mm bolt on it. Thanks for watching!

[@ui7183]

I hope to be getting at 2008 LE FFV soon. What are some things watch for?

[@seanysockets7391]

Good for you! You'll love it. Definitely watch out for the cracked headers Armadas and Titans are notorious for in this generation. Also, the oil cooler gasket will leak and need swapped out (easy fix - I made a video when I changed mine). Lastly, I believe there is a common power steering leak in one of the hoses.

Have you heard of Armada's having the issue with radiator/transmission problem, like they had on the 4.0 Pathfinders?

[@seanysockets7391]

I haven’t! Mine’s still going strong at 190k miles

[@archerrunner]

yes same crap where clamps begin to loosen up or tranny and coolant fluid get mixed. i had just recently installed an external transmission cooler.

Where exactly did you locate the floor jack? I really don't see a suitable place to set up the jack, in order to get both front tires off the ground.

[@seanysockets7391]

If I recall correctly, there are indented arrows along the frame rails that point to where a good spot is. Pretty sure there’s even a metal lip sticking out for the jack stands.

[@griffmustard]

@@seanysockets7391 Yes, after doing a bit more research, I did locate the arrows, and yes, the rear jacking points have a protrusion that slips into the jack stand cradle. Have you bled your Brakes? If yes, did you do it by yourself, or did you have assistance? What method did you use? Thanks !!!

[@seanysockets7391]

@@griffmustard glad you found it. I have bled the brakes at one wheel. I made a self bleeder tool out of a bottle and fuel line. chris fix has a helpful video on that i think. At the end of the day, it was quickest for me to have someone press the brakes for me while i opened and closed the valve. Doable by yourself though. Just takes longer.

@@seanysockets7391 OK.......Thanks Man !!!!

I usually do the pill change to my sienna. I’ll be doing my friend’s semana next week. Can I just go under the car without using any jack? Is it ok ? I do that in my sienna 06. Pls. Let me know if you have any knowledge or opinion about it. Ty.
