Here's an update on my 02 pathfinder. I have a new shortblock compliments of Nissan. Changing the pcv and new valve covers did not even slow the oil consumption down. It took a long time and we had to track the oil consumption but the service manager at the dealership stuck with it and eventually I got a new shortblock. My vehicle was still under warranty and all cost were covered. I am happy to say that since then my pathfinder has had no oil issues. We have driven it back and forth from Washington to Arizona twice, and now reside in a new state and so far so good. The info I received off of this forum helped alot in dealing with this. At least I knew I wasn't the only one, and also Nissan is aware of the problem, it just happens so rarely (they say) it took awhile for the service dept. to realize they were going to have to change my engine. Thanks to all who replied to my post, and best of luck to all in need of a new engine. If your vehicle is still under warranty be persistant!

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. coppcar post #1 and glad to be here. Last edited by coppcar; 10-25-2008 at 02:32 PM. |

I am having the same oil consumption problem as many others. My pathfinder has 58xxx miles and uses a quart of oil at about every two to three tanks of gas. I would like to try the valve cover replacement as it sounds like that may be the problem. Where could I get a new redisigned valve cover and gaskets to do this job? Also great site....lots of good info!!
