2022 Nissan Frontier Oil Change with YOUR Dislikes (what the views dislike about the truck)

[@JoeR-ln4fl]

i bought a 89 v6 brand new in the day, now i have a 2022. Nissan Trucks are TRUCKS. love your vid. stay frosty!

[@monocogenit1]

when I do a oil change, I don't take any panels off. I used to. on my old Xterra, which is basically the same thing. Now I just go through the side. It's easy. just sit by the front wheel and reach your arm through the front/side. yah, it kinda makes a mess, sort of. but its not to bad. oh, and that extra .4 or so quart of oil in addition to the 5 qtrs, I use Lucas HD oil stabilizer. every 5k with mobile 1 synthetic.

[@DoItYourselfDoItRight]

Huh.... maybe I'll try that next time!

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

There's a button to push to stop that back up into trailer thing.

[@jimmy45rebates]

3K to 5K is my choice! oil is cheap, engine is not cheap!

[@supercraps6110]

5000, no more is very important to keep the engine cleaner.

[@christopherdimotsis1024]

If you plan to keep your truck awhile and you drive a lot use your full synthetic oil and change every 5k or 6 months…… oil is much cheaper than a new engine. The places advertising 10k oil changes are usually saying that so they can claim cheaper cost of ownership during the warranty period but after that they don’t care and all Powertrain repairs are on the customer…… but also some provide a fine print such as Toyota on my rav4 where they say I can go 10k but only if I can check mark 10 things in the driving habits and environment. if I can’t check all of them they say 5k full synthetic or 6 months and if your using synthetic blend 3500 miles or 4 months……

Save your engine, damn good catch can here.. J&L oil separator Company. I got black easy install see the video they have. Mine only gets 15% full at 4k miles.

[@PRO4XKEV]

Here is your next small project, Protect the oil pan with the oil pan skid plate, Z-1 has the pan plate. Inexpensive part, get the bolts with it. Z-1 sells a magnetic drain plug for the 3.8 and get a few oil filters from them to.. great prices.

[@jerryding6190]

I do 5k on engine oil, and every 20k for CVT fluid.

[@justincase9638]

What CVT? This is a conventional Transmission?

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

The manual for these trucks says 5,000 mile oil changes if operating under “severe use”, 7,500 if not.

[@rockkstah2550]

As for oil change intervals, DO NOT go over 5K! I'm a doing mind at every 4K just to be extra safe.

[@nathandeparis9852]

5k no compromise especially with a turbo, but even with my naturally aspirated engine I go 5

[@kamryn7496]

Wonder how long 0w20 water thin oil is going to make this 3.8L last mines got 17k miles hope I can get 200k out of it

[@kevinbroadway5398]

your creeper is bottomed out thats why it aint rolling so well, and that oil pan its gonna be too small for you to slide it lift it and pour the old oil in the recycle container deal

[@davewallace9048]

You should always pre-fill the oil filter with oil!!

[@DoItYourselfDoItRight]

There's always one guy...... congrats you're the guy this time! I'll ask you the same question that I've asked all the other guys..... why? ______________ (your answer) (My reply) What about Toyota , Subaru and VW (just to name a few) that have vertical oil filters..... they're always empty when you shut the car off and start them back up. Does that mean they're always starving for oil in every start up?

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

I’ve never filled the filter on hundreds of oil changes on numerous types of cars, trucks, tractors, etc and never had an issue. It’s not even possible to do that with cartridge style filters.

[@gnic76]

That may work if the filter is straight up on the engine, spill half of the oil out when horizontal and make a bigger mess.

[@HalTaberner]

5000 or if less miles driven then at least twice a year or every 2500 miles. Just my suggestion as again, oil is cheap!

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Why twice a year? I do mine annually as I put about 3,000 miles per year

[@desmondjohnson2843]

That’s how the 2021 ford ranger

[@jasonmann3030]

Man the placement of the filter makes it damn near impossible to change without getting oil everywhere. I used a oil zorb blanket underneath the filter and still got oil everywhere

[@DoItYourselfDoItRight]

@@jasonmann3030 does your have the access hole with the cool little oil catch ramp?

[@jasonmann3030]

@@DoItYourselfDoItRight It does. I didn't realize that you were supposed to let it drain straight down and run off. That's why I got it everywhere cause I put the oil blanket on top of the drain spout whatchamacallit. Learn something everyday thanks for the video man. Even for something as simple as changing your oil.

[@jhr301]

5000

[@kevinbroadway5398]

5k miles for is super good but i found 7k on synthetic is good

[@justincase9638]

Mileage is not great! Agree. But I generally get over 20 MPG because I'm pokey... Get 24 mpg on long trips: BTW you forgot to put oil IN the filter before reinstalling. The manual shift does exactly what the Tacoma manual shift does. The way to think of this is the sifter locks you into the highest gear. So when you are in stop and go traffic, move the lever over and put it in 4 or 5th gear to keep it from hunting up to 6-7- 8 around town - works great!

[@DoItYourselfDoItRight]

I didn't forget.... I just didn't do it because I'm not making a mess for no reason! So many vehicles with vertical oil filters that empty out every time they shut off and they don't have issues..... one start without out won't hurt it.

[@justincase9638]

@@DoItYourselfDoItRight I know what you mean about the mess. I am not allowed to change my own oil in my ( own ) driveway. You did a great job of keeping things clean.
