Replying to: hiwayman (Dec 03, 2007 6:03 pm) Someone mentioned on a different forum that they pay $80 for an oil change for the NAH. I dread the day when it's my turn...

Replying to: hiwayman (Dec 03, 2007 6:03 pm) 0w20 is the prefered oil for hybrids (supposedly the best for start/stopping). my dealership still only has 5w30. should be fine though...but i may change over to 0w20 when it gets cheaper. we need walmart to stock it, =T   to get to the oil filter, try taking off the front passenger side wheel. easier to access now?

#58 of 95 Bluetooth] by occking May 05, 2008 (7:19 pm)
Replying to: townboy325 (Dec 05, 2007 3:49 am) It is absolutely terrible!!!! The speakers work fine you can hear very clearly but no on can understand what I am saying. Part of the problem may be too much background noise in the vehicle, but I think there is more of a problem with the system. I have to keep switching off bluetooth and talking into phone directly (have blackberry 8830) but I travel a lot in NY State & don''t want to get nailed for using it.   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. Replies to this message: langjie (May 06, 2008 6:14 am) occking (May 07, 2008 5:49 pm)

Replying to: langjie (May 06, 2008 6:14 am) I hope that is the case (defective mike) I have even left messages on my answering maching than retreived them & they sound terrible. Most people simply cannot understand me at all. Although I drive in warmer weather with windows open and roof open, would shut them when making calls.   Must tell you, have never had a moon roof wind deflector. Boy, that was well worth the money! After a few minutes you can forget the roof is even open.

#62 of 95 HVAC by lrspatrick Jun 15, 2008 (8:21 am)
Two weeks into ownership of a NAH. Only issue thusfar is the dual zone HVAC.   The passenger side is basically two settings, hot or cold. If you set the temperature at 89 or 90 you get hot air, if you set the temperature at 60 - 88 you get cold air. On the passenger side if there is any difference in air temperature within the 60 to 88 range it cannot be more than a degree or two.   On the drivers side it is similar, but I would estimate the difference in air temperature within the 60 to 88 setting range is at most 5 to 8 degrees.   The above holds true whether in EV or ICE (or both modes). My method of measuring is the hand test. May not be the most scientific but in my wifes Avalon it can detect differences across the entire range of temperature settings   Anyone experience anything similar?   Anyone have any experience with the dealer addressing any component of the NAH HVAC? Part of me says if they try to fix it they will only screw something up!   So far everything else is good. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Replies to this message: occking (Jun 25, 2008 6:51 pm)

Replying to: lrspatrick (Jun 15, 2008 8:21 am) Absolutely worthless!!! I complained to the dealer & they replaced the "control unit" no improvement whatsoever. I do a lot of driving, particlularly in States like NY & CT where if caught yappin on the phone next to year will cost you big time.   The speakers on the system are great, as they use the radio ones, but outgoing voice is very garbled and almost impossible to understand what I am saying. Other people have tried it, I have called me home phone & left a message 1/2 on bluetooth and 1/2 without & retreived the message, and a world of difference.   Not sure where to go from here, the dealer made a comment to me these things are not "perfect" and should only be used in an emergency. For someone that drives 4000 miles per month and on the phone constantly, that is not a good answer.   Anyone else have any problems like I am having? I have found out that just because a phone is "bluetooth" it does not mean it is compatible in a Nissan. I guess every car manufacturer different, and word of warning to anyone out there getting a vehicle with bluetooth check with the manufacturer & be sure it will be compatible. With the Nissan blackberry's ok, but other's like Palm Pilot, etc. will not work. Believe me, I know this first hand.
#64 of 95 Re: Battery Charge Meter [mazda6dude] by pooch505 Jul 02, 2008 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: mazda6dude (Oct 16, 2007 7:57 am) Hi Everyone,   I just purchased a new 08 NAH. Everything is working excellent, except for 1.   My question is on the meter on the right that shows the charging level. It never has been above 3/4 high. It has never been below 1/4 low. Has anyone ever seen there's above 3/4? Have you ever seen your meter fully charged to the top? I can't get mine to go their. I have about 800 miles now. It's running great except for this 1 item. Maybe that is the way it should be. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks again. Been getting 34 to 38. Love It !! This is a great forum.
