it depends on if it is a diesel or petrol
then it depends on the use
look on the back or a bottle of oil it will have a graph there and it will say if it is good for older motors or not or if it is good for big motors
oil bottles have guides on the back that will help you
just make Shaw one thing diesel oil for diesel motors
same with petrol "gas"

it is bolted i am pretty shure.....

vehicles vary....but most likely bolted..............

i dont think it is welded becasue of the pressure that would produce the fame.

sence the problem started in the trans that makes me think that its your park/neutral safety swith which would do exactly what your saying. if a auto the switch should be on the shifter or posably part of the P.R.N.D.L (park revirse neutral drive)switch on the trans .if manual its usually on the side of the trans mission. good luck i hope i helped

take your car for a tune up
if they are carburetor type motors you may need your carbie cleaned and a tune up
if you clean it your self with carbie cleaner it may increase in idle speed this is nothing to worries about it is a simple adjustment
with a carburetor type motor they tend to idle higher when their cold this is the automatic choke kicking in and normally it should happen till the car is a bit warmer and the accelerator has been depresses
although a car should idle at 800 rpm my paddok car dose when it is cold it idles at 1200rpm i like it this way as the car warms up quicker as i will not drive a car while it is cold
hope this helps

i would not buy it
if the transfer case is damaged in 4wd mode it could lead to 2wd being damaged then you are looking at big money
if there are and grinding singing or heat coming from the selector dont Evan touch it it will cost you big time

if you can lock up the brakes its probley not the booster look in the paper and find a shop that offers a free brake inspection like precision tune auto care or firestone you have to find someone you can trust so go to a pro good luck

If you are going to scrap it, you can use the fuel pump in the tank itself. If it has a leak, use a manual or battery operated fuel transfer pump through the filler. https://www.google.com/search?q=fuel+transfer+pump ..

Hello. It seems your Nissan's alternator stopped recharging; causing your Pathfinder to run on battery. The battery became discharged not to 'power' the starter yet light the lights. Recharge your car's battery then start your car. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

You can't , best bet call a mobile lock smith . He'll cut you a new key and program it .

Hi Eduardo:

Install the cylinder head with a new gasket. Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and seats, then install the bolts with washers (beveled edges up) in the correct position. Note that bolts 4, 5, 12 and 13 measure 5.00 in. (127mm), and are longer than the others. The other bolts are 4.17 in. (106mm) long.

Tighten the bolts in the proper sequence, in the following stages:
Tighten all bolts, in order, to 22 ft. lbs. (29 Nm).
Tighten all bolts, in order, to 43 ft. lbs. (59 Nm).
Loosen all bolts completely.
Tighten all bolts, in order, to 22 ft. lbs. (29 Nm).
Tighten all bolts, in order, to 40-47 ft. lbs. (54-64 Nm). Or, if you have an angle torque wrench available, tighten them an additional 60-65 degrees.


Hope this helps; remember to rate this answer. Good luck.
