#10 of 17 oil change interval by wmh1234 Sep 21, 2008 (2:30 pm)
My 2008 versa owners manual states to change oil every three months. i drive mostly short trips in new york state. This sounds a little often to me. I only drive 5000 miles a year so i get my oil changed according to time not miles. I can see this in the winter, but in the warmer months this seems to often. what are you thoughts?

Replying to: wmh1234 (Sep 21, 2008 2:30 pm) Old recommendations (before the better quality oils now adays, and the tighter clearance engines), would be every 3K miles. You could easily do once a year, but personally I'd do twice a year. An oil change is very cheap compared to engine replacments. Low mileage is not the greatest for engines, if they don't get the opportunity to warm up in winters and burn off any condensation. I'd get that oil out in the spring, then again change it in the fall. Replies to this message: chas_in_okc (Oct 26, 2008 11:56 am)
#12 of 17 washing underside of car by wmh1234 Sep 24, 2008 (2:57 pm)
The Nissan owners manual says to wash underside of car after winter driving on salted roads. How can this be done? My only idea would be to take the car to a do it your self car wash and use the high pressure hand held wand to spray the underside of the car. But, the pressure is very high and i am affraid water would be forced into spaces it should not go in to. would an ordinary car wash would do. Replies to this message: backy (Sep 24, 2008 3:18 pm)

Replying to: wmh1234 (Sep 24, 2008 2:57 pm) Most full-service car washes and many automatic car washes have a high-pressure underbody spray. That is what I use in the winter. My local gas station has an all-cloth automatic car wash with an underbody spray that is relatively cheap and does a good job.
#14 of 17 Problems with doors? by toguchi Sep 29, 2008 (9:20 am)
I have now owned my Versa for 4 months. A while back my passenger door started making these rattling noises and the window sounded like it was shaking also. So I took it back to Nissan and they told me that inside the door the motor that controls the window was loose and that this caused the problems. I was very happy when I picked it up, but guess what? A few days later I am living with the same problem. This is pretty annoying and I know we don't slam the doors. They had it fixed, but I am already wondering why I bought this car. This is the second problem I had with this car within 4 months. Has anyone else experienced any problems with the doors?
#15 of 17 Battery Replacement by mxcoope Oct 10, 2008 (6:16 am)
I have a 2007 Nissan Versa SL with the I-Key and my battery seams to be dieing. I have 40,000 miles on it. I want to know if I will have to have my I-Key reprogrammed after I replace the battery.

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 21, 2008 3:29 pm) I agree with changing the oil every 6 months even if you don't drive 3k miles in that time. I drive 1k miles per month. I used Mobil one synthetic oil in my old car and changed it every 6 months. I just bought a Versa 3 days ago. Will use Mobil one in it and go up to 7500 miles or 6 months. But for 5000 miles a year synthetic oil would be a waist of money.
#17 of 17 Re: 07 versa CVT problem [tat2zbyq] by ahc358 Oct 31, 2009 (7:49 am)
Replying to: tat2zbyq (Jan 21, 2008 8:06 am) Nissan dealer told me this morning that Nissan is extending the warranty coverage on CVT's to 10yr/120,000mi. Call your Nissan dealer because I think Nissan is going to reimburse for past repairs as well. Sounds like their stepping up to address their customer issues with repair cost.
