Glad the effort wasnt in vain. Thanks for watching

thanks for watching and the advice.

Thanks for checking it out

Your welcome. This video was a life saver. Taking that intake off was much more risk. This was a little troublesome but total gold. Thanks again my friend.

I'm pretty sure our engines are the same so you should be good.

Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks for watching, glad it was useful

Glad the video was helpful. Hopefully you at least got a sun tan.

But is the job done? For sure though, that one has to be the worst.

@@DIYNorth all but that one.

Glad it got done. Yes the more extensions the better on this one. Those are impressive fuel savings.

It honestly wasn't too bad. having the right sized sockets and extensions makes all the difference. Thanks for watching.

Awesome 👌... I have the same vehicle as yours and I was dreading ripping the intake off to do this job without a mechanic friend around. I do have xxl hands, so having an Asian gf with "dainty hands"might prove to be worth her weight in gold... lol Love all your maintenance vids and hope I haven't missed any. Good job amigo

@@deanminault6276 If you've changed plugs on something else before this shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for checking out the videos. Best of luck.

I'm glad you were successful. Best of luck with the 2012 Pathfinder. I am pretty positive about mine, it has some quirky things about it but over all its been good.

It's too cold right now to do car videos, but I'll get back on them soon. I need a heated garage

It's not exactly easy. I assume you were successful though.

@@DIYNorth got it done. Thanks

Thanks for checking it out

Two of them are no joke to remove. The other four are no problem.

Thanks for checking it out

Thanks for watching, and commenting.

@@DIYNorth 👍🏾

Its definately a warm weather job.

lol...I wash my hands when they get dirty because I trashed my first GoPro because I got it covered in oil and crap. So I'm a lot more careful with the sony camera I bought to replace it. I also wear gloves pretty frequently and go through a ton of them.

Thanks for watching

They arent the same, but the principles are the same. I've never seen that engine though.

If you believe it you can achieve it.

Unfortunately I don't think that I will be able to get to it before it starts snowing here. Unless mine breaks....then yes I'll do it. Haynes seems to have a good video on it for the Pathfinders.

watched Haynes video on thermostat. like your way of explaining steps much better

No problem, thanks for checking it out

Thanks for watching

I dont know if this is the best job to do hungover, but I wish you luck. Engine air filter change is a good hungover job. I haven't had to touch the alternator. I've done the belt, but that's it.

I think so. I believe the frontier has the VQ40DE engine as well. That said there are often differences across the an engines life cycle so there could be some differences between the 2006 and the 2012. I'm not 100% that they are identical.

@@DIYNorth thanks

I've never replaced a coil in my life, and I've had a lot of high milage vehicles. So I would say no.

@@DIYNorthThank You, I was telling the guy who wants his Nissan tuned-up not to replace the coils but he bought them anyway. Also I'm doing the tune-up.

it should be an EVAP problem which could be a lot of things including issues with the gas cap, vent/purge valves, rust, etc. I'd start with the gas cap.

Help 🙏🏻

You should be able to look up the correct plug on several web sites such as advance autoparts web site. Did you get the plugs from a Nissan Dealership? If so I would assume that they got the right ones. Are the ones that you removed from the vehicle the original plugs? If there is any doubt you could just take the number off the side of the ones that are in the vehicle and replace them if they have been working fine. If the potion of the plug that enters the engine is longer that could be a big problem. If the portion of the plug that is longer is the ceramic portion that sticks out of the engine then I would be less concerned.

I think it might depend on which brand and type of plug you use, but generally iridium plugs last a very long time

@@DIYNorth I use NGK Iridium, my Frontier odometers reads about 180000, in 20K more miles I will use your method to changed them. Thanks for the good video.

I think the NGK ones are the best to use. Best of luck with the change.

The OEM plugs have a change interval of 120000 miles or 192000 km. I'm at about 220000 km, so I've gone well past the recommended change interval period. Other than that they seemed to still work fine.

Hey Oscar you really should change every 75K

@@ashmontrealty bro i have my Nissan Pathfinder 2011 silver edition. I got it back in 2013. Now has 228078. I never change it. Still running good 👍🏼 do I have to change it????

I obviously went just as far on my plugs as you did, I had a plug fail on me once and it was pretty bad. The plug detonated in the cylinder and it sounded like rocks banging around in a tin can. It was an expensive repair. If you go to my main site page and look at the banner picture you can see a cylinder head. the center cylinder head looks very mashed up and the ones on either side look fine. That is what happens inside your cylinder when a plug catastrophically fails.

I'm not sure I agree, but you are welcome to do it any way you want.
