Thank you

I wonder why they couldn't put in a simple dip stick like everyone else?

Thanks; I saw that cap and bolt set up. What a strange set up- What size is the bolt?

OK guys have a good laugh!

I know I need new glasses, but where the heck is the transmission dipstick located for a 2011 PF? They do not show it in the owners manual.

Thank you

I don't ever remember seeing trans fluid that dirty in any of my vehicles. Do you do any heavy towing?

[/quote] 20% towing is certainly ahead of the curve for a light duty vehicle...I'd be very cautious as well.[/quote] I edited my post to reflect that I tow a 4,000Lb camper about 20% of the time, as I wasn't sure about your response; I don't see any major issue with what I'm towing, and the PF shoul...

I have a 2011 PF, with 16,000 miles on it, and tow a 4,000LB camper approximately 20% of the time. I would like to drain and put is some synthetic trans fluid, but not sure what to use so as not to void the warranty. I noticed in a post above that 4 qts was drained and 4 qts added,; is that all the ...

I've been taking our 2011 PF to the dealer for scheduled oil changes as our PF is still under the factory warranty. Fortunately I get their special which is $60 for Mobil 1 and filter; I can't do it for to much less than that. I would like to change the oil myself, but my concern is the warranty sho...

Um...why would you need to deflate the air bags? Wouldn't increased ride height help you get in and out of a steep angle? If you're concerned about adjusting ride height, then you can always use a yard stick to make sure the rear is leveled with the air pressure, rather than what most people here d...

Been reading numerous posts here on air bags, and was planning on getting them this spring. However, I just stumbled upon the Timbren suspension kits. http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3058 My main problem is my steep driveway. I would have to let the air...

We have a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder, and a 2010 Heartland MPG (similar to an Rpod). and am considering getting a pair of air bags for the rear springs to help reduce sag when towing. The WDH helps with the sag somewhat, but from various posts I've seen, air bags are the best improvement for the $$. How...

Any of you guys have brake squeal issues? Our 2011 Pathfinder brakes squeal after it's been parked for a couple of hours. We only have 12,000 miles on it, and it's annoying to say the least.

Will they do anything under warranty?

I have a 2011 Pathfinder and am looking for suggestions for the best "ALL SEASON" Wiper Blabes. Thank you

Terry,.....I didn't take it as a flame :D I really like the PF as a tow vehicle and chose it over the Explorer which only had a 5,000 capacity, and is built on a truck frame. Albeit, for anything heavier than our current MPG camper, I would more than go up to a heavier vehicle, but that's just me as...

Well, I am far from an expert. The tongue weight capacity of the pathfinder As listed on the label on my hitch shows 600 Lbs. At 5,600 Lbs, you are very close if not over, based on a tongue weight of 10-15%. Don't forget to add the weight of the WDH in. I thought you subtract the people and stuff fr...
