okay so in the shop to get toe bolts they noticed ALOT of things wrong biggest thing was they said upper oil pan has a slow leak and is about 7 hour job and $600 something to fix that. Then they said a few bushings need to be replaced as well.

Also they said power steering fluid is pretty black and needs to be changed which is about an 1-2 hours so $180 dollars for that.. Do these prices sound okay to you guys or am I being ****ed with.

 

what shop did you go to?

im no expert but upper oil pan? sounds like a blinker fluid trick to get you to spend money, but i dont know everything about these cars.

bushings might need to be replaced, are you lowered?

not sure on power steering fluid either

 

Up oil pan? yea def does not sound kosher ( not a car expert) but I have never heard of that term on here, we might call it something different. idk

For the Power steering fluid- 10 bucks and some time

Oh looks like its true, but would look into it, see if what they are saying is true or not.

 

Thanks. They said specifically that it will be $720 to take out upper oil pan and to reseal it with cocking and put it back..

Also have the problem when my car is idleing at like a red light or stop or whatever the heat goes from blowing 90 degree heat to cold air. They tried bleeding it but no success to getting the air pocket out.

 

Paladin Advanced Automotive. They specialize in Nissan and Infiniti.

 

the upper oil pan thing is correct. if you get get under the car and look. there are 2 peices. its not 2 oil pans. but there are 2 different seals.

 

Dang.. So that's really a $700 dollar job.. Damn sucks.. Thanks for the info tho guys

 

Last time i looked...it seemed easier than that. I'll have to look again.

Maybe i was just looking at the pan where the plug is located though

 

Upper oil pan is what the lower oil pan is bolted to. It's a huge part, and while I've never attempted to change it while on the car, it looks like it would be a lot of work.

Well Maybe they are charging more to reseal it so Maybe if I just purchase one and ask them to replace it might save $100 or more.. Ill find out today when I get my car back from them

Here is what they want done

Air filter Clean $45 (Their is a kit for like 12 bucks at pepboys to do it myself)

Power Steering Flush $80 ( $10 if I buy it myself and do it)

Front Low control arm bushings $180 Labor + Parts

Reseal Upper oil Pan $720

 

How bad is the leak?

You could just live with it....plenty of cars leak.

 

Which air filter we talking about? Cabin or Engine? Both are 15-20 bucks for a replaceable filter.

 

Are they cleaning a k&n.....or a oem filter?

 

not stock filter.. I have Ztube setup with popcharger Where you have to rinse the filter and re oil it and the oil cost a few bucks at pepboys.. I have done it before.

As for the power steering I have never done that before but for $10 myself or $80 for them id rather do it myself.. Ill be learning this weekend lol

 

They said no rush.. They said for now its definitely livable but they said it has the potential to get worse
