Man, I'm getting scared...

59800 mileage today.

I'm going to send the wife up to the local Nissan dealership on next tuesday and pay the $60 to make them check out my rig front to back.

I need to do it ASAP so it's covered under warranty.


Anyone else have that type if mileage on their Frontier or X? '05 or newer?

I'm pushing 31K in 1 year. By the middle of September, I expect that to be somewhere around 41K. I have to get my tranny and rad flushed, but it'll have to wait unitl after BC

Had both of those done a while back (more than four years ago).

I'm sitting at a little over 75k miles. Nothing major wrong so far. I've replaced the PCV valve, fuel filter, air filter is K&N, now running synthetic oil...

Have you had your diff fluid changed? Get it done! Either yourself or someone else. I did my one rear axle and it is EASY!

Check your rear main seal. Mine is starting to ooze a little.

Does yours have a carrier bearing on the rear shaft? Have that puppy inspected pronto. They have been known to go bad.

Check out your VIN on the Nissan website and see if there are any recalls. Mine showed up with recalls but the dealership said it wasn't applicable to mine (Whaaat?). Don't let them talk you out of it until you're considerably convinced.

I changed the fluid in both my front and rear diffs. That was probably 15K miles ago. In prep for my trip, I scanned the underside of the X...no leaks, all is good. When I get back from BC, I'll definitely change all the fluids (oil, both diffs, and tcase). I'm running full synthetic (amsoil) in the engine and diffs.

Am I missing something here? My 2000 Audi turbo has 211,000 miles and is still doing fine, the '91 F-150 has 192,000 miles and is a reliable work horse, my old Mustang had 196,000 miles on it when I retired it from daily commute duties, and my Mazda MX-6 GT Turbo had 216,000 miles on it when it was totaled for the second time and would otherwise have been still going strong. I put 136,000 miles on a 1971 VW, and 190,000 on a '76 F-150 which I gave away last year and which is still in use for daily driving. Even my 1985 race Jeep has 100,000 miles on it more or less, and my 1968 CJ-5 shows 56,000 miles on the speedo, and the speedo was inoperative for something like 10 years before I replaced the cable, so there is no telling what the mileage really is.

The only reason my Nissan doesn't yet have high mileage is it isn't old enough yet, but I see no reason why it won't also go the distance. Change timing belts when required and do periodic maintenance and your vehicle should last way more than 60,000 miles.

Not missing anything, just worried about the warranty running out. Pretty much a piece-of-mind thing is all.


And I change my diffs and t-case every 15k. I run Mobil1 everywhere. 5w-30 oil, 75w-90 F/R diffs, and Mobil FullSyn ATF for the T-case.


But it helps that I work at a Mobil distributor.

I hear that!

You'll be fine mate!

There it goes... All gone...

Daily driver, two trips across the country (Seattle to Wilmington NC), one trip to San Diego and back.

My commute is 40+ miles a day.




WAY more miles than I really want to put on it, but stuff is so far spread out out here in the PNW.

I used to commute 110 per day. It racks up the mileage fast. Our 2000 Audi now has 211,800 miles, an average of over 26,000 per year. Thank goodness we are now retired.
