Does anyone know where I can get something like a Chilton's Complete Repair Manual or a Shop Manual for my 2006 Altima? Thank you.

my message about doing own oil change really brough out some comments. anyway, before anyone replied i did the change. i like some others on this board are avid auto hobbiests. i have been changing oil and filters on cars for over 40 years, and on boats for about 10. you don't need to jack up the altima at all, and a little care to remove the inner fender liner after turning the wheels to the right is all that it takes. of course, there are many proper options to discard used oil and filters. as far as time is concerned, it takes less time and is much more convenient to do my own oil and filter, and rotate tire, do brake jobs, etc, than to bring it in and leave it and go back and pick up, etc. by the way, the last time i brough my nissan murano in for replacement of the rear hatch struts they did me a favor and did a courtesy inspection. they forgot to put the oil dipstick in all the way and oil was leaking out of the dipstick hole and dripping down under the engine. i agree with comments from others, that over the years i have caught many small problems with cars by closely looking at them, workingn on them and making sure that my ride was safe, reliable and current with all required services. that is my take on this subject rr70

Replying to: roadrunner70 (Jul 12, 2008 4:22 pm) I had a garage that didn't tighten the drain plug all the way. luckily it didn't come out, but when I got the oil changed the next time (at a different place) they showed me how it was about 2 threads from coming out  I think everybody does the curtsey inspections now. Personally, I don't think its so much that they care, but more about wanting to find work. I think with cars as reliable as they are, the repair business isn't what it used to be. Anyhow, for someone like me its a real blessing. I don't know much about cars (mechanically speaking) and rely on those inspections to stay on top of things. As for the whole oil change thing, each to his own I say. For me, I don't enjoy it, and it isn't worth the time, or hassle to save a few bucks. but I can totally understand how somebody who enjoyed doing that kind of stuff would want to do it. |

We just bought a 2008 2.5 SL which came with manufacturer sunroof and defector. After taking delivery of the vehicle we noticed that driving on the highway over 60 MPH there is a hissing noise coming from the sunroof area. Sliding the cover shut (so you cannot see out) helps but still apparent. We took the car back and they kept it for a day. They claimed it was a mirror producing the noise but on the way home it still was coming from the sunroof. The car is going back today and we hope they will repair it. I was hoping to know if there are any known issues with the current model Altima and sunroof. I did a search and could not find one. Thanks! George

It will pop off and you can wiggle it free. Then there are just 3 bolts exposed to unscrew and the whole side mirror comes off. Really simple. |

I have an 06 Altima purchased new in Sept 2006. I brought the front tire feathering issue to the Dealer's attention in Feb 2007 and they re-aligned the car under warranty at that time ....  2200 miles. In Sept 2007 the Dealer re-aligned the car again under warranty and rotated the tires. In Dec 2007 the Dealer once again re-aligned the car and rotated the tires.. Well, here I am once again with the same issue only more pronounced since I now has 23K miles on the car. The tires are now making some noise. Has anyone experienced this problem? The tires look like new but the feathering is pronounced. I am very annoyed that I may have to replace these tires so soon. Sounds like the issue is with the tires and not the mechanical aspect of the car. Please advise. Thanks!
