I bought a pair of NTK upstream O2 sensors about a year ago for future PM on my FX50s, which has a Nissan 5.0l V8. Long story short, that future PM happened a couple weeks ago. One of the two was defective. I ordered the NTK because RockAuto had is listed as the actual OE part, when I removed...

I can't really mention opening the timing cover on this site without providing pics of the interior cleanliness. This is w/ M1 0w40 since new. Just a hair over 200K miles and 16 years. About 6K per OCI.

'06 Infiniti G35 w/ 200K miles. I am resealing the timing cover and replacing the water pump and associated parts for the first time, due to a small oil leak at the bottom edge - it's not dripping yet, but it is getting the front of the motor grimy and I'm sure it will get worse. While I have...

This is from my 2012 FX50s w/ 132K miles on it. 9K on the oil with no makeup oil. This was a mix of highway, city and trailer towing. Seems good, I was concerned about my AEM air panel air filters.

Hi, Is there an easily available to AGIP Permanent Spezial or ENI Antifreeze Bike S? My bike came from the factory with blue coolant which had to be swapped under warranty with an 'urgent TSB' due to the original coolant eating the heads and then leaking into the oil - possibly due to heads...

A friend of mine took my FX45 on a trip. While they were away, the battery died. They had the car jump started and took it to an auto parts store that replaced the battery for them. On the way home the SES light came on. They also said that after the battery was replaced, the car died in...

I need to change the coolant on a family member's 04 Toyota Camry w/ Toyota redish-pinkish coolant - probably original. The car has 80K miles on it and should have come with red (it wasn't made in Japan, in which case it would have been pink). I have gallons of Nissan Blue premix. It appears...

I bought a used FX50s in June of last year. When I bought it, the power steering was loud in the morning and got worse as it got hot, but it was otherwise OK. I tracked the noise to the pump and swapped it out for a new one. I also swapped the PSF to Dex VI as it was a recommended 'upgrade' over...

'06 G35 black. Mostly garage kept, but sometimes it sleeps outside. I don't know how long this has been an issue, but i only noticed it recently. In the morning when I get to work, the roof looks dull and rough. I've tried rubbing it with a microfiber cloth, thinking it was something on the...

So, I have two (now three) older Infinitis. The '06 G35 and '06 FX45 both had their dashboards replaced under warranty and both of them are now cracked again. I try to take the best possible care of all parts of the car. I've used most well-regarded cleaners, never armor-all. Most recently I've...

I saw a car with a branded title which showed that at 60 miles it was bought back under lemon law in NJ. I'm not interested in this particular vehicle, but the autocheck report shows that it was then sold to someone who put 40K miles on it, and then it was resold to someone else who put another...

One of my favorite cars, My '06 Infiniti FX45 had two intake runner butterfly screws go through the motor. I don't know when the first one went through, but the other night I was sitting at a traffic light and heard a car making a horrible knocking noise, the noise disappeared when the ford...

I no longer have any vehicles calling for Dex VI or ZF LifeGuard 6. I have heard that Dex VI makes great PSF, are there any other uses for it or the LG6 -- specifically for Nissans that require Matic S and Matic D, or Mercedes that calls for 722.9 Plus? Are there any reasonable cross-refs that...

My wife has slashed another rear tire on her '16 E400 sedan. Both rear tires were replaced at around 12K (around town) miles. The rear size/model is ContiProContact 265/35R18. The left rear was replaced again at around 16k? last year due to damage from losing pressure on the highway (posted...

I have an '06 Infiniti FX45. This vehicle has been great for me, very few, minor repairs in the last 175K miles. It has developed a minor front end clunk when braking - which is making me crazy. My first inclination is to use this as an excuse to replace the front end parts, which have never...

So, I have run many pads (Project mu B force, EBC Blue, OE, Stoptech Street Performance, Endless something or other) I ran a few sets of the EBC NDX pads which worked great, until they didn't. The Stoptech Street Performance pads seem to be a good compromise of cold and hot performance. I always...

I have ~170K miles on my Infiniti FX45. The rear brakes appear to be sticking when hot. In regular high speed stop and go traffic, the rear rotors get smoking hot and start to grind after a few stops, while the fronts only get too hot to touch. In the past, the front typically got hotter...

My wife was driving on the interstate at ~ 80 MPH when her left rear TPMS warning lit up, she said she watched the tire pressure start dropping and pulled over. She said the pressure dropped from 35 to 7 in about 20 seconds. When I got there to put the spare on, I could see the two lines on...

2 cars, both 2006, 320K miles total between them. The first is a Nissan V6, the second a Nissan V8. Both have M1 0W40 in them. The G35 has about 2K on the oil, the FX had about 5K on the oil. First is the G35, ignore the open intakes: And the FX45: I added a couple pictures of the...

It would appear that when I clean my engine, water sits in the valley, and the knock sensor is underwater. There are no indications of any problems with this one other than the high water mark well above it. It is several hours and a number of gaskets and o-rings to get to this point. Should I...
