Nissan Pathfinder Oil Consumption

Re: 3.5 liter oil consumption problem - temp fix ? [nightmonkey1]
I have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder Automatic. Would lose about half a quart + between oil changes (3K) no smoke, no drips. Upon careful inspection saw that there was a lot of oil caked on right cv boot and the surrounding area. Turns out the oil cooler had a very slight leak from the o ring. Not enough to drip but it just kind slowly covered the surrounding areas. Found that ... Read More

Diagnosis Help
Hi everyone. I have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder with 140k miles that has slightly elevated oil consumption - about one quart every 2000 miles. I wanted to make the suggestion to use Blackstone Labs for oil analysis to determine whether your oil consumption is being caused by excessively worn rings, which would cause excess fuel to show up in your oil. They can detect the content of several wear metals and ... Read More

Re: 2003 Pathfinder LE [dprine]
I live in Jersey so I have no recommendations in your area, but don't ask for a general 60k mile maintenance. Many dealers and others garages will add on needless, high profit work. Look at your owners manual and don't let anyone tell you your truck needs more than what your manual says. Two exceptions to that would be having your cooling system power flushed (not just drained) and having your ... Read More

Re: Pathfinder Roof Rack Parts [steve_]
Thanks for the quick response. I need the 19991/2-2004 XE or LE Nissan rack rail end caps. Several messages in this Forum back in 2002 or 2003 mentioned this, but I only found out about the Forum and joined last week. I would be willing to trade the entire 2003 SE rack, but not the rails, for the end caps.

2007 Pathfinder LE 4WD, New Jersey
Hello, my wife and I have just gotten serious about a 2007 Pathfinder LE 4WD lease. On the initial visit to the local Nissan dealership yesterday, they quoted me $469/mo. for a 39-month lease, including a trade-in of a 2003 Ford Explorer worth around $6300 ($12235 Edmund's trade-in minus around $5900 loan payoff). They didn't want to provide any details as to trade-in value, residual value, etc., so here I am ... Read More

Re: 2003 Nissan Pathfinder [robert52]
Just a tip about your wife's daily commute- A 1/2-mile trip doesn't give the engine enough time to come up to operating temperature. There are very good chances that this type of use will lead to shorter engine life. Cold starts ("cold" = less than 150°F coolant temp) are actually when the most engine wear occurs. At the very least, try to drive the vehicle at least for 1/2-hour continuously, on ... Read More

Re: 2003 Nissan Pathfinder [robert52]

Re: 2003 Nissan Pathfinder [robert52]
I just sold my 2001 PF LE in June of 2006. Although, I miss the Pathfinder and really liked it alot, I don't miss the poor gas mileage it received.

Currently, I'm driving my other vehicle a ... Read More

Re: 2003 Nissan Pathfinder [robert52]
Like Pathstar, I have an '01 which is very similar to the '03 model year. Mine has 105K miles on it, and it drives like new. While it has not been perfect, if I had perfect foresight as to the repairs I would still buy it again. Problem areas are: 1) the O2 sensors as Pathstar mentioned, 2) the intake timing sensors (there are two) which seem to last 40-70K miles ... Read More

Re: 2003 Nissan Pathfinder [robert52]
I have a 2001 - basically the same as the 2003. Have had no problems with the vehicle, other than O2 sensors early on. It's a large heavy SUV, but considering that, it gets pretty good mileage. I'm happy with the purchase, and given what I wanted when I purchased it, if those conditions existed now, I'd buy it again.

www.irontoad.com. It's under the Nissan/Pathfinder/2003 link, but there is no difference between the model years after 1999.5. Cost is ~$62 plus shipping. It's an easy do it yourself. Gently pry off the interior trim piece with a flat blade screwdriver to expose the screws. Replace one side at a time! Takes all of 15 minutes. And it does do an amazing job at keeping the rear window clear.

In addition to the grille-tech insert that I ordered, you look to be on the money here on the exhaust tip as well and I have no doubt that the chrome finisher should fit a US '03. Amazing to think I'm shopping in Canada for this - but is easier than all the aftermarket brands out there which may or ... Read More

Phil 47
Again, thanks for the numbers on the Chrome Tip! Looks like it is only manufactured for Canadian Pathfinders per info on that Part # from your Stadium Nissan dealer up there. I measured my 2003 LE's tailpipe diameter to make sure that it will fit - it measures ~60 mm across. Stadium Nissan describes the tip as a "Canadian 88 mm tip." You don't happen to know whether the US and ... Read More

Plan B
mjohnr99, I'm real close to executing on my Plan B. It could happen tonight, I'm going to pick up the deposit I've put for a 03 Runner. There is a Nissan dealer just across the street. I've got some price confirmation here and the Sports will be 2k more than a LE (and the 03 Runner does not include leather and it has the plastic cladding issue). Interest rates will be ... Read More

RE: New Model
I heard that Nissan will have a new full size SUV (2004 model) due out in the fall of 2003. I'm not sure if it will be called a Pathfinder or if it will have a new name.

Japanese translation
Here's what AltaVista Babelfish gave when I submitted the text underneath the Terrano pictures "Production of the tera- no * tera- no leg lath ended. Because becomes only stock sale, as for details please inquire at the nearby dealership" I think the Pathfinder is either on the way out or ready for a major redesign. I wonder why they stop production so early in the model-year. Could we get a new ... Read More

2003 Test Drive
My wife and I just test drove a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder Se. We have a few questions that we would like to ask those who own a similar Pathfinder. The ride seemed pretty bumpy, is that normal for Pathfinders? Every bump, joint, man-hole cover seemed as though it could be felt. Also when pulling up at traffic lights the bumpy asphalt (from heat during the summer) seemed to be felt easily ... Read More

My experience purchasing a 2001 SE
From the "SUVs for Tall People" messages- thought this would be interesting for those of you reading this message board as well... Well, over labor day weekend, I drove a Trooper, Escape, & Explorer. We also drove a Pathfinder as well for my wife's review - I had already driven one. First off, I'm about 6'4" tall. When I drove the Trooper, I couldn't see the traffic light when we were ...

2003 Pathfinder Pictures - Any?
I have noticed that several Nissan Dealerships have already received the '03 models, but there are no pictures available. Are they hiding these vehicles? Does any one know where I can see a picture of the '03 with possibly the new colors?

The 2003 Nissan Lineup - Charting the Changes [Jul. 15, 02]

PF vs Runner
Preuning I have always been a proud owner of Toyotas (Previa, Corolla, Pickup and Corona), Hondas (always have an Accord) and Nissans (Altima, Quest) Now 2001 PF LE and biggest consideration was the power (plus the wife likes the design and she had to pick the color too the beige but I personally like the bronze gray) HP PF 240 @6,000 (Runner 183 @ 4,800) Torque PF 265 @3,200 (Runner 217 ...

2002 Model Year Pathfinder
It is my understanding from MotorTrend that the PF and Infiniti QX4 will be re-designed for the 2003 model year, which will be available next year. (Both of these vehicles will be made larger.) Typically, Nissan releases re-designed vehicles early. For example: The 2002 Q45 is available now. The 2000 Maxima went on sale in the spring/summer of 1999. Therefore, I expect the 2003 re-designed PF to be available in the ... Read More

Response to SScherr
Hi, I'm from Baltimore as well, but now live in Delaware. About a month ago, I was heavily looking for the same vehicle - Bronzed Gray with Charcoal Leather interior with all options except NAV and entertainment system. At that time, I received a no-haggle quote of $31,698 from CarMax in White Marsh, Maryland. CarMax sells both new and used cars. It is a new car dealer for Nissan at the ... Read More

Ships2...
FYI: There will be a redesigned 2003 Pathfinder according to Nissan slightly larger than the current one. In addition to the Pathfinder there will be a FULL SIZE suv from nissan that hasn't been named, and it will not be called the Pathfinder. I'm really looking foward to the next Maxima redesign...I only hope they do a better job on the styling, the current styling is somewhat strange/awkward looking, especially from ... Read More

re: new altima
I don't want to turn this into an Altima board, but I watched the streaming video of the 2002 Altima introduction - very impressive. Unless Honda and Toyota make any drastic changes, the Altima will really stand out from the Accord and Camry. We have a 98 Altima(yes, we like our Nissans) and it has been a great car. This one appears to be even better. If this new design is ... Read More

Redesign of Pathfinder
I have heard that the PF will be redesigned for the 2003 model. I have been considering a PF but per my earlier post here, I feel that the 2001 model falls a little short (rear drum brakes, cramped rear seat, limited headroom, narrow rear entry doors etc). I suspect that the 2002 model will not change at all from 2001 model since a major redesign is due in 2003. Unless ... Read More
