Probably want to change out your rear diff oil as well. I did mine about a month ago after about four years and it was pretty bad.

Mine was pushing black... Definitely do the rear diff oil.

As for the Nissan scanner tool, what do you mean of that? 300$ buys you a tune...

It's a Chinese clone of the Nissan Consult 3 hardware device. I can fully run Consult 3 on my laptop and do everything the dealer does. I just can't cut keys or mess with the immobilizer system you need some special add-on cards for that.

Did the cabin filter and cleaned the MAF sensor yesterday. The cabin filter apparently was NEVER changed in the past. After just cleaning the MAF sensor, I can tell the car idles better. I'm still on the fence about the seafoam. I'm waiting for all my parts to come in the mail then I'll see how close I am to needing an oil change.

I'm sure your lungs are idling better also, lol. Cheesy attempt at humor it's early in the morning forgive me.

Probably want to change out the rear diff oil also, I think that was a 10MM hex bit if I remember right (I got mine at Home Depot). I'm guessing it's probably black and the magnetic nut is probably gunked up. You also want to buy a pump so you can put the fluid back in. Make sure you remove the top drain plug before the bottom as well. Oh yea wear your MOPP Level 4 gear that **** stinks!
