Will a 1997 3.3 Nissan Pathfinder engine be good to swap out a 2004 3.5 Nissan Pathfinder engine ??

There is a 2004 3.5L Nissan Pathfinder around the corner for sale but has a bad engine, I have a 1997 3.3L Nissan Pathfinder that has been in an accident but nothing is wrong with the engine. Is the 1997 Pathfinder engine a good engine to swap the 2004 out with?

Being that you have a complete donor car the swap would be easy enough, one thing to keep in mind is the fuel management system and ECM will be different between the two. you may want to research the swap before you dive into it. it most likely will be cheaper to find a low millage motor at a wrecking yard that the same displacement and generation.

Will a 2004 3.3 nissan engine fit into a 1995 nissan pathfinder that had 3.0 litre engine?

The answer to your question is, yes it will. The mounts are the same and as long as you are staying with the same transmission auto/auto or standard/standard then it should be an easy swap as far as swaps go. I own a 95 Pathfinder as well, but my 3.0 is still running strong, but if it goes, then I'll replace with a 3.3 as well. The 3.0 is slightly under powered. Here is a link that you may find helpful and if you are not a member of Nissan forum, I would recommend joining.

The guy in this thread gives a lot of information on his engine swap from a 3.0 to a 3.3.

Hope you found this information useful as that is my goal.

I have change d engine oil and filter but d servie engine soon light is still on, what is d problem. I use a used 1997 nissan pathfinder with about 250,000km

Service engine soon light is on because the computer has found an error, and may not have anything to do with oil. Get it scanned to see what the diagnostic trouble code is.

You will have to take off the heads and check the valves. Your valves might be bent. But do not try to crank the engine again.
