2024 Nissan Frontier Recall - False Synthetic Oil - Gm Payload and Hitch Weight Monitor System

[@trinonx1335]

the more I hear about the frontiers, the more glad I made the choice to get one

[@Jason-Samko]

@trinonx1335 such a great truck

[@BKRS165]

Glad to hear good things about it. I was gonna get a Tacoma but changed my mind a few months ago. Once I have my 5 grand saved up for a down payment I'm buying a 2024 Frontier. My Subaru outback is a piece of temperemental junk and I can't wait to trade it in for a good old fashioned V6.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@BKRS165 you will love the frontier

[@BKRS165]

@@Jason-Samko Hope so. Buy a Subaru they said. They're reliable they said. Pfff... My outback has given me nothing but problems since the day I bought it 5 years ago.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@BKRS165 Sorry to hear that. Always heard subis were reliable. The frontiers have been great I hear as well.

[@mojomaster5003]

The most underrated small truck since 2010. Extremely reliable and tough truck.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@mojomaster5003 agree

[@danrenfroe2016]

Amen. I had a 2002 Frontier, then splurged for a 2024 Crew Cab Long bed, long wheel base. Cannot say enough good things about it.

[@TheCdnBacon]

For the Frontier it only affects 24’s built between Jan 29 and March 4. You can check the date in the door to see if yours is potentially affected.

[@Jason-Samko]

Great point I didnt think of.

[@uploadtime1780]

Keep up the content. It's got enough variety to keep me coming back.

[@Jason-Samko]

Thanks. Love hearing that.

[@jordanaraujo2579]

I've always used penzoil ultra platinum. It's great. I get better fule economy with it, and the oil has very little evaporation. Also it comes on sale regularly so it's not that much more expensive than conventional oil.

[@All-Miles-Matter]

I have a 23 frontier p4x so im ok but even if i had a 24 i would say "thats nuthin! I will take that over tacomas problems"

[@Jason-Samko]

agree 100%

[@thewireman134]

Whats really amazing is that Nissan actually sold 5900 Frontiers..

[@Jason-Samko]

@@thewireman134 I bet frontier out sells the tacoma in 2024

[@OneLeggedStormChaser]

Frontier FTW 👍

[@Jason-Samko]

simple easy recall.

[@secretsquirrel3711]

Penzoil platinum ultra

[@hdz12ez]

Same here. I pair it with a Purolator Boss filter.

[@DUNEATV]

Love these news videos

[@Jason-Samko]

Thank you.

[@Holden-McGroin]

I run Shell Rotella in my diesel tractor, and Mobil1 in everything else, including my firearms.

[@Jason-Samko]

I use mobile one on my firearms too

[@crisikingful]

The oil debate man it can go forever hehe. But when i work on cars I will always still change 3-4k miles...also the ball joint problem, be like oh noooo honey i have a recall for my ball joint 😮 i can fix it though....titan swap excuse 😂

[@TRONABORON]

Conventional oil works, not changing!

[@TRONABORON]

More tech I don't need!

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree

[@Ramonperez590]

My answer every time anybody criticizes my 3rd gen taco been outdated 💪

[@Jason-Samko]

@@Ramonperez590 agree

[@680ecks]

Try the material data safety sheet MDS should list all the components. If the oil is tested for the correct viscositys at the correct temps ie0-30 then it should perform correctly I would think

[@Jason-Samko]

@@680ecks great info. Thank you

[@noniespam]

Underbody cameras? How do you keep them clean, mud, salt, slush? Or is this not an issue.

[@Jason-Samko]

Some have a spray cleaner on them

[@chief1960]

Motll is group 4 pao full snthetic oil also amsoil that all that is avaiable

[@TomStarcevich-fb3qo]

3,000 miles and my oil 🛢 gets changed in my truck 🛻👍 I'm a old school boomer

[@Jason-Samko]

absolutely nothing wrong with that.

[@marvinbrickhouse9122]

I do five just because it’s easier to keep up with everyone who drives our trucks knows 5,10,15,20,25 but better to do more than less all these manufacturers says 10 but that’s just to far for hard driving.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@marvinbrickhouse9122 I do the same. Every 5k is easy to remeber

[@edwardoperez1663]

Hi Jason what do you think about the Idemitsu 0W20 100% synthetic oil? Thank you!

[@Jason-Samko]

Never used it. But i do always use synthetic

[@steelzmb4262]

Use group G6 oils, 5w-30. Change every 5000 miles. Walmart, Rural King, Costco etc . Have them all.

[@Jason-Samko]

Yep as long as changing every 5k I dont think it matters.

[@TRDTalk]

At least the transmission or engine isn’t blowing up lol

[@Jason-Samko]

Very true. This one is s simple fix that is easy to do

[@josephmorales9625]

I own a 2024 prox frontier.. What should i be worried about

[@Jason-Samko]

Nothing. Enjoy your amazing new truck

[@solarjinx]

I just bought my '24 Pro 4x and I'm so damn stoked.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@solarjinx congratulations on such an awesome truck

[@jefferylorance7988]

I read somewhere synthetic oils falls in three categories…grade 3 is rated up 7,000 mile oil change, grade 4 is up to 15,000 miles change and grade 5 up to every 25 mile oil change ..varies brand to brand… Believe what you what too… There is a difference in each grade..higher the better..or more slippery… But oil filters not all are equal too…so longer in between oil changes needs a matching oil filter also…please research this further…

[@Jason-Samko]

The key take away is there is no reason to go longer than 5k miles between oil changes. Oil will still be good, filter will still be good and nothing is breaking down or sludge happening. 5k oil changes for the win

[@hdz12ez]

Ahh yes, the great oil debate. It's the equivalent of talking politics and religion, it'll never get resolved! The bottom line is, with normal driving habits and conditions, any synthetic blend or full synthetic is going to work just fine as long as it's changed in a timely manner coupled with a quality oil filter. End of debate, move on with life lol.

[@Jason-Samko]

Yep key takeaway is change oil ever 5k

[@braddenr.4778]

@@Jason-SamkoI’ve always done 3,500 mile changes. Too soon? Probably, but I’ve never had engine failure, sludge buildup, or any internal failure in anything I’ve owned. Refer to the comment 👆 pick a synthetic, run it and change it at 5k or before. Bam

[@Jason-Samko]

@@braddenr.4778 well said and agree 100

[@SliderFury1]

I do 7,500 (ish) with full synthetic, never had any issues. Basically, when the oil monitor is at 25%, I'm planning when in the next week or two I'm gonna go get it done.

[@hdz12ez]

@@braddenr.4778 I don't think that's too soon, I do the same interval on DI turbo engines and 5k on NA engines. Oil is cheap, engines are expensive.

[@KeystoneTexan]

Ams-Oil the only true synthetic oil and the originator

[@Jason-Samko]

Always loved Amsoil

[@JohnJones-ff4nu]

😂

[@KeystoneTexan]

@@Jason-Samko that’s all I use. Unless I can’t get Ams-Oil for some reason. Then it’s Pennzoil Ultra Platinum

[@jeffrymcallister2789]

You know if companies would just build these vehicles better maybe they’ll last and I’m not changing my mind about older trucks they don’t have all the junk as all these newer ones and that’s why I steer clear on them and nobody can tell me differently

[@1FiftyOverland]

A balljoint separating is kind of a big deal. Definitely can cause an accident resulting death or SBH.

[@Jason-Samko]

They say it won't separate but could wear prematurely

[@JohnJones-ff4nu]

Bobs the oil guy for oil info. Mobile 1 was sued for this very thing decades ago. Nissan GTR engine engineer says if you want your vehicle to last 300,000 miles or more use the cheapest oil you can find and change it every 3000 miles….

[@Jason-Samko]

@@JohnJones-ff4nu I'm a firm believer in changing oil every 3k with conventional and 5k with full synthetic oil is the smartest thing you can do for your engine

[@DEEZEEMTB]

Exactly

[@garyfernandez8513]

Who on earth would put cheap oil in a GTR?

[@4wd4Life-xs3id]

Imagine buying a Tacoma when the Frontier was available. I wish I could collect all the fanboy tears.

[@shdw6662]

Fanboys are in such denial right now that they always and I mean always bring up 15-20+ year old Toyotas and act like they still have the same reputation they had back then. “My ______ has ______ miles and still runs like new (yea right). I wanna see _______ do that.” lol literally every single fucking time.

[@4wd4Life-xs3id]

​@@shdw6662 You forgot to mention a million mile motor and top gear, but yes. That's pretty much every response.

[@johnmitchell8925]

We're living in a simulation

[@Ramonperez590]

Not way José the longest I’d wait for oil change could be 5,000 miles , but with a couple of long trips I’d do it around 3,000

[@Jason-Samko]

@@Ramonperez590 yep 5k intervals here too

[@martinmdl6879]

Please let us know everything about how our cars spy on us and how we can prevent this. Thanks. My insurance company does not need to know how fast I drove today. Just take my money and be happy.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@martinmdl6879 I have talked about it in a few of these latest new videos in my truck News Playlist. Inside cameras that monitor you and your attitude. Tech that feels how aggressive you are driving and will call a psychiatrist for you or pull the car over automatically if you ate driving to aggressive. Etc. It's gonna get crazy

[@fitoaguirre8766]

There's your bulletproof truck frontier lovers😅😅😟😅😅😟😅😅😅😟😅😅

[@Jason-Samko]

Still pretty bullet proof if you ask me.

[@TheCdnBacon]

@@fitoaguirre8766 small amount of trucks created in a couple month date range. Still glad I picked up the frontier with what I’ve seen happening with the new Tacoma and Tundra. My wife’s SUV is a Toyota which has been great. It’s strange reading comments like yours, like are you just so bad off in life you want to see other people have problems? Go outside, enjoy life. Don’t be so beholden to a brand you have to wish other peoples stuff to have problems. It’s sad man.

[@crisikingful]

Yoo so that's not a bad recall... if you work on cars... The amount of bad joints people ignore.... Is crazier 😂 like if Toyota had this recall, it's pretty minor, also you could just upgrade to a titan ball joint after Market, share parts lol.

[@mojomaster5003]

Why YES IT IS. Thanks for noticing!

[@deantrainr]

I’m sure Jason that ALL the 2024 Tacoma fanboys/sissies are “gloating” big time right now!🥱😳

@@TheCdnBacon even if i owned a frontier that was in the recall. Id have zero concerns. parts are available and its a 1 hour fix. Its what I call a happy easy recall.

[@jc6618]

@fitoaguirre8766 - Yep there they go, driving away from the dealership after and easy 1 hour ball joint replacement 👋🏼 Unlike the new Tacomas with their busted transmissions and goodness knows whatever else issues they have sitting at the dealership because there are no parts available.
