What are you doing today? [Part II]

On tap for today: 2022 Nissan Pathfinder with the 3.5 engine.

Oil and filter change, engine air filter, cabin air filter, clean MAF sensor, complete inspection under vehicle and in engine compartment, oil change sticker on w/s and reset oil change maintenance light at the dash.

The work went as planned. The engine air filter had some pine needles and straw on it and in the air box and because of the MAF sensor location, had to remove the air box top for access and the cowling was fun to deal with, but doable. The cabin air filter was easy enough and filthy. Last oil change done at dealer, left 3 clips off that holds the undercarriage shield, that has to be removed for filter access. I replaced from an assortment that I keep handy. Cleaned the front of the throttle while it was exposed. under hood and under carriage inspection showed no problems. Shouldn't because it has 27k miles on it. 5.1 quarts of 0w-20 Valvoline full synthetic oil and a Wix XP filter. Reset oil change reminder and installed a sticker on the w/s.

If anyone knows of anyone that owns one of these gen Pathfinders, with the 3.5 engine, that oil dipstick location is a huge PITA. There is a "V" shaped metal guide pad that aligns the end of dipstick with the hole and the upper hard part of the dipstick has a 45 degree bend to allow clearance. You have to look hard for a chance to see the hole the stick goes in.

Ran some errands this morning. They want to have level 2 background checks done for staff at work, so went and got my finger printing done while I was out. Stopped by Harbor Freight for a couple of things Had been wanting one of those padded roller seats for years, so I could stop sitting on 5 gallon buckets and a folded up towel. SOOO much nicer!

Also grabbed some rough cut sawzall blades, since I burned through a bunch of my standard ones cutting through some tree roots to get some ethernet cables buried in the yard last week. Had also used my cheap pole saw with that, and of course dulled the chain pretty quickly, so also got a chain saw file set.

Stopped by the grocery store before heading home to do some work on the TB, post about that coming later.

Ran around like a blue arsed fly today.

Headed out at 8:30 this morning to get the grocery shopping done before the crowds descend. Headed north to pick up a driver shaft I had a different adapter put on and also a set of irons I had the original shafts put on, hit some balls while I was there.

Got some of Sam's favourite apple pie going (IYNYK ) and making a pavlova for Mothers Day, drinking bourbon and playing bogan funk. Life is pretty good right now.

Miss having a meet with you fellas.
