It's a metric grease nipple, which is fatter than the US standard. There may be paint on the end of the fitting. Try cleaning it. I've had good luck getting grease into mine. I just have to keep telling myself not to fill the driveshaft - one or two squirts is all it needs. I seem to recall getting a metric end for my grease gun years ago.

In Cabin microfilter-replacing in 05 SE by 05se
Jan 08, 2006 (9:44 am)

Hello all,
 
I'm trying to replace the in cabin microfilter for my 05 Pathy SE off road. The problem I'm having is trying to get the glove compartment door fully open for access. The manual says to squeeze both sides of the glove door to get it loose (and hanging by the string). But the left side of the door won't give, and if I squeeze any harder, the thing will crack. Anyone else on this board having a problem like this? Or should i just take it to service and have it done there.......seems like an easy thing for me to do, but of course there's always one stupid obstacle in the way. I thank you guys for your help.

Does anyone know the procedure to replace a block heater on a 98. I can barely see and did manage to touch it. How you get at it to replace it. Thanks Cam

Heh, you're at the end of the road! Welcome to Edmunds.
 
Did you look from underneath? Often it's easier to get to the freeze plugs where they usually install the block heaters when the rig is on a lift.

Not quite at the end of the road, an ice road goes to Tuktoyaktuk during the winter (most of time here). I had it on a lift, can see it with a mirror and twist my hand and arm around and then I can touch it. No idea of how to work on or replace it (no room). Anyone have manual and do they give any directions or information on what to do? 16 hour drive to nearest dealer. Thanks Cam

My '99 Quest has a similar engine I think (VG33E) but mounted transversely. In my factory manual it just shows the general area of the block heater for Canadian engines, but says nothing about what's required to replace it. The diagram only shows one place to install it, so you may not be able to put one in a different frost plug.
 
Anyone?

(p.s. I drove the Dempster about 15 years ago - nice trip, but a bit far just to visit the dealer!)

I own an '01 PF & I'm tired of getting hosed by dealerships on repairs.
 
Does anyone have a mechanic/shop to recommend in the San Francisco area (North Bay preferred)?

Cold Engine Valve Knock by sundance799
Mar 20, 2006 (10:53 am)
Reply
Hello there. I have a 1998 Pathfinder V6 with 45000 miles. When the engine is cold there is a valve knock. This goes on for about 3-4 mins. Once the engine is warm there is no problem. At my last oil change I added 1/2 quart of Lucas Oil Additive to try to help this problem. But so far no luck (about 1200 miles driven since oil change). I have also been chaging the oil more frequently (every 1500 miles)for the last 3 oil changes. I am concerned about damage to my engine. Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.
