Replying to: hiwayman (Nov 29, 2007 10:21 am) I tried to make some sharp left - right manuvers while driving with my friend who used to be a mechanic and we couldn't hear anything... maybe the loose screw found its home. Nothing on the floor, it probably got wedged somewhere for good. Otherwise I'll play ping-pong again...

This isn't really a "bug" per se, but it is interesting. I'm a backyard/driveway mechanic. Obviously, there's not much on a hybrid someone like me can do, but at least I thought I could change the oil. I checked the owner's manual. The recommended oil is 0w 20. I thought that was a misprint, so I called the dealership. Yup. 0w 20. Most cars will use something on the range of 10w 30 or maybe a little thicker. Just try to find 0w 20. NO one has it (except Nissan dealers?). I asked the guy at our local autoparts store if I could order a case of 0w 20, and he said he'd check, but he'd never heard of that kind of oil. It can be ordered.....but it's $5.00 a quart. Ouch! The oil filter is almost impossible to get to as well. You need to jack the car up to get to it, and then you need an arm with two elbows. Additionally, the only brand I could find that would come close to fitting is Bosch. Weird. Our dealership does oil changes for $30.00. Guess we'll be taking the car to Nissan from now on......Looks like my days of backyard tinkering are over. Anyone want to buy some tools?

Replying to: townboy325 (Dec 05, 2007 3:49 am) I spoke to dealer & they will check it out when I bring in for next oil change, but I sure hope it can improved, that perhaps I have a bad mike or something. Anyone else have any problems with this? Otherwise, I love the vehicle.
