I was wondering if I had a problem with oil consumption on an '03 Pathfinder I recently bought. Mileage is 87,000.
In researching this, I came across this thread. Andre's explanation gave me hope, "Could it be this easy?!".
However, I could not get past the fact that this cover costs almost $200 from my dealer. I have since found it at nissanpartsdirect.com for much less. Regardless, I had to find out what breaks in the cover to cause the consumption. Andre said oil gets trapped in the baffles, but why??
After several hours of studying this today and making a valiant effort to clean my cover, I figured it out.
If you're interested, swing over to
Nissan Pathfinder Oil Consumption for my write-up.
Thank you everyone for this thread and thank you especially to Andre for sharing his fix.
