[@RioFoundation]

This hb is so damn clean. What a beaut

[@GrizzlyDad_316]

The peacocks had me crying lmao

[@weekendhomeprojects]

lol, same.

[@leonelplascencia2990]

Same

[@jenskimble]

I love cicadas… don’t mind them at all. Thanks for showing me how to change oil in my Nissan.

[@bdtaylor1979]

Why not just look at the level on the side of the 5 qt jug instead of going through the extra work of pouring it from one bottle to another and then putting it in the engine? They put the markings and levels on the side of the jug for a reason.

[@screamineagle1240]

Wait, What? 🙃

[@adammalzahn7238]

I have an 86. I used a different style filter wrench. The one that fits tight on the end with a ratchet hole. Worked easy. There are pins that hold the dust cover in place, one of mine was missing it was not cut in half. I put a screw in to hold the dust shield in place. But I do agree STUPID LOCATION. Great trucks I love mine.😊

I have a 1997 D21 Hardbody 2.4 & 5 speed with 435,000 miles had it since June 2021 in Brookland, Arkansas & going to replace the Water Pump shortly , & Hood latch Cable broke today, but finally got the hood open, it's tricky for sure, several teens are wanting it to turn into a lowrider project , Cicadas are super noisy here in Mid - Late Summer.

[@bobwilliams4446]

Hi I just got a 91 4X4 SB 4cyl 5 spd hardbody 150k,,,,, It came with american racing wheels 15X8 and brand new 31X10.50 tires ,, the wheels needed some polishing so I took them off to clean ,, and when I took off the passanger side wheel ,,,,I looked right through the split in the cardboard and was looking at the filter ,, I thought the fiberboard just split there cause of age ,, but after I saw your video and saw yours was split in the same place,,,,,,,I guess that is what was done to access the filter ,, so I was just thinking I would pull the wheel off to do the oil change , my floor jack squeaks too ,, so now every time I use it I will think of the peacock face,, Thanks for that lol

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

Im not much on mini-truckin. But this one is in very good condition for being 25 years old. We have them all over here in Texas but 98% of them are pretty beat up and lacking TLC. And yes.....we have a sh*t ton of Cicadas here in Central Texas

[@JohnnyReb2000]

Ga here, 100% accurate about cicadas. As for the transmission, regardless of the make and model, if the transmission goes too long without a fluid change, it gets to the point of damned if you do, damned if you don't really fast.

[@jlautomotive6349]

The peacocks 🦚 🤣🤣😂 Never thought I would sit and watch someone pouring 3.5 quarts of oil into a motor! … love it, keep it up!!

[@wreckanchor]

Do you still have this truck? I have the exact same truck. Same color and everything.

[@marquisdouge4533]

I drive a 2003 frontier with the same engine, I found it might be easier to turn your tires to the right so the oil filter is more exposed.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Great idea! I'm going to try that on my next one.

[@WildWillysProductions428]

I live in Saskatchewan Canada and last Monday I started my first job and I’m 14

good job man👍

[@weekendhomeprojects]

I'm talking about the truck of course.

@@weekendhomeprojects no I don’t but I do have a Chevy cobalt

[@senorpepper3405]

Oh kay😂

[@irishuwould5185]

Turn the tires to the right. Also don’t worry about filling the filter with oil. It does absolutely nothing beneficial.

[@adammalzahn7238]

I was taught the same. Old habits die hard, doesn’t hurt anything.

[@Simply_Pip]

From my understanding it just prevents it running "dry" on the first start up after the change and means you need to put a small bit less oil into the engine since some needs to fill the filter❤

[@katiewalden6308]

Motor oil designed to leave a coating in the engine itself so I quick oil change like this it's just a waste of time.

[@senorpepper3405]

It threads in to where you'd dump the oil screwing it onto the motor.

[@carlosmondragon6639]

Thank you for this, I have the 96 nissan xe

[@johnsmith-sk1ep]

26 years and 233k. Except for smog, hardly any problems. I've only changed the gear oil once. Only changed the shocks a couple of years ago. imo, use the high mileage synth oil and filter. Made a diff on mine with what I'm told is the timing change noise when it starts up. The front end could do with some work but my next job is checking the wheels and bearings which I've never done. The only pia is the drive cycle. Nissan is a joke re this. Last year it took me 10 months to get past smog and now I have another cel problem to track down which means more issues with drive cycle.

[@stoundingresults]

Mine needed a new air sensor to pass smog. Old one losing connection and taking too long to work per the technician

[@poppypineapple9885]

It has a measurement line I’m pretty sure you added a step using that smaller one

[@morkmckerr]

try Oil Filter first, then drop the oil.....I never need a filter wrench.

[@warmasters]

I can’t find my cabin filter it’s not behind the glove box

[@stoundingresults]

No cabin filter, just a big open space behind glove box

[@danatam7130]

have 97' Nissan XE- truck , 26+ yrs old- w/60 k miles...in HI...runs great, needs body work & paint done...how much would it cost to to rebuild/restored?...I'm 2nd owner ...I'm 73 yrs young, is it worth fixing @ my age?..tnx u on u r reply...

[@Simply_Pip]

Hey sir, I am a minor and don't know much about vehicles. I'm hoping to get into working on them to fix up our old 93 Nissan and keep it running. But in my opinion I think you absolutely should fix it up! The older trucks are just built better and are meant to last (unlike alot of vehicles in the last decade or so) And I'm sure if you have any children or grandchildren, they would love to drive an old pickup truck!❤ I hope you have a blessed day sir and happy birthday if it came up recently!🎉

[@dwhitt79]

Thanks!

[@crs290]

This generation of Nissan trucks are every bit as good as the Toyotas from the same era. I think the Nissan is actually the better-looking of the two.

[@sinceregrant3765]

Peacock got me😭💯I live in SC and mannn they be bugging too much yo

[@niiko_9161]

It would look so good on 15x10s and lowered in the rear. It’s a suggestion for upcoming videos.

[@irishuwould5185]

Hell no

[@nelsonscattabingus5751]

Hey bud outta curiosity what did ya get that for over 10k ? I don’t want to overpay and have been looking I found one with 65k but asking 17k

[@eddierebollar7687]

Maybe a clay bar , wax vid on the hardbody like the old days.

[@joeherrera9575]

Nissan pathfinders wheels 90-95 look great on these

[@Brooklyn_Powers]

I have a '79 Datsun 620 Kingcab with those wheels and I love them! I just bought a '97 Hardbody Kingcab and was thinking about putting them on the Hardbody to see if I liked them...I also was thinking about 18" Titans...

[@haydenchestnut4390]

Throw a go light on the 22 sierra

[@AC.1FIDDY]

🔥🔥

[@tracefuqua3651]

I’m up here in Kentucky and the cicadas are sounding off as I type this lol I rarely notice anymore unless someone brings it up

[@simplex1]

auto zone gave me a shorter Oil filter than older one Same thread and everything thoughts if I should still use it

[@senorpepper3405]

I've used both. I change mine every 3,000. Semi synthetic.

[@gassinnpassin8455]

Florida so used to cicadas i wasnt even really hearing em in video🤣

[@1996ikey]

How was it did u like it

[@scottmaxwell7972]

I used to do mine for the top. Oil filter

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Is it easier to get to than from the wheel area?

[@elgordopamisamigos]

Love your truck !!!! If you ever want to sell it let me know…. Thank you

[@weekendhomeprojects]

I've had multiple people say the same thing to me at Walmart and the grocery stores.

[@tlwayman]

Oklahoma and yes we have locusts

[@KsKaylor]

Was not expecting the peacocks 😆

[@desmondjohnson2843]

My Nissan jacked up I just have to take battery cable off because of spark I have 3.0

[@USAUSAM82]

Yay, first!

[@smokin_keto]

That peacock tho 😂😂😂

[@sinceregrant3765]

Luv des trucks ngl not too small but da right size great vid man you gotta get some LEDS for it like tho whole LED for da front headlights led everywhere lol

[@MrMister1227]

This truck is the reason I buy the kn oil filters with the socket thing at the end gladly pay the extra $7 bucks to save the hassle 😵‍💫

[@cesarconh895]

I recommend you use only factory Nissan OEM oil filters and only run NGK spark plugs and wires

[@AB-coyote]

Nothing special about Nissan filters. The KA24 is not a picky motor.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Doesn't look like the Hardbody videos are doing as well as your others? That why you don't have more recent hardbody vids?

[@leonelplascencia2990]

Do you still have this truck?

[@senorpepper3405]

He made a video about selling it. I think he said it was too boring to be his everyday. I have one, i agree.
