    best grease for square tube driveshaft?

    I purchased a cheap receiver tube front driveshaft for my old toyota truck. I'm a little worried that it wont slip under torque and I also don't want the grease running out and spraying the road or undercarriage. What brand would you recommend? Would a heavy moly or graphite grease work best?

    Best oil for the VQ40?

    I've used PP 10w30 with good results, although some thought a TBN of 3 was low after 4,100 miles. Got some Mobil1 0w40 in there right now. I'd like to also share that I don't use the Nissan branded lubes because I think they're all overpriced. If your Xterra is an automatic then I recommend...

    Nissan Matic-J ATF

    Subaru dealerships sell Idemitsu ATF HP fluid for their 5 speed automatics and it's an exact equivalent to the Matic J fluid. It's also more reasonably priced, costing around $6.40 a quart. I've been using it in my '05 Frontier without any problems.

    Bypassing the heat exchanger?

    Bypassing the heat exchanger?

    I own a Nissan pick up and have heard a few cases of radiators cracking and allowing transmission fluid to become contaminated with antifreeze, thus quickly destroying the transmission. I live in a hot climate and was wondering if there would be any negative effects from bypassing the radiator...
