If engines are still similar to the V6 in my '04 Frontier, the oil capacity is only a bit over 3 quarts. Not a lot iof safety buffer if you get low. On Fri, Mar 25, 2022, at 8:44 PM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes wrote: > A friend’s wife has a murano. They are known for premature engine > fail

No, after I changed solenoids and fluid it was sorta OK but still inop.  She ended up getting a bit for it from a shop she took it to, and bought a Honda Fit --FT On 3/26/22 9:38 AM, mitch--- via Mercedes wrote: On 2022-03-26 09:29, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: Nissan CVTs are prone

Couple weeks ago I see a Challenger in the mirror trailing a cloud. Not a vision obscuring cloud, but still one that I noticed while it was a good bit behind me. Killed the fan and put the heater in recirc to lessen the burning oil smell as it went by. Was surprised to find that the smoke did

Was driving this afternoon, there was NM in front of me, I smelled coolant then noticed it was spraying out from under the NM.  I caught up to the car (it was going 50 in a 35) and honked several times and was waving to pull over.  Did not do that, was still spewing some coolant at that point.
