Ok thanks, i'm not going to loose any sleep over the gearbox then, i highly doubt i will get the opportunity to tow anything that heavy any time soon, and mostly the boat towing will be done on highways on good roads at decent speed 120km/h or more so i'm sure if your has been ok mine will not...

Wow that's interesting, i completely wrote off the dealer who told me that as being completely ignorant, but may be it was the other dealers that didn't know what they were talking about. so in other words i should not worry about the oil in the box unless it starts misbehaving, just one other...

Hey Guys i have a 2006 Nissan Navara D/C 4.0 V6 Auto 4x4, now with 146 000km on the clock and i just wanted to know if any one knows when the ATF replacement intervals for the 5 speed auto gearbox are, i called a few Nissan dealerships and some of them say every 90 000km and some say every 60...

Sheesh, did Mitsubishi's designer die or just start taking drugs, lol i'm sure if they ever do produce it, it will lose a lot of the crazy design elements that make it look so futuristic and hopefully those hideous light strips and mags.

Hi Rumpig as far as i know, Castrol GTX 2 is a thick 20w 50 multigrade mineral oil designed for old/high mileage engines? but besides that when i had my problem i stumbled across some reports of brand new/ low mileage BMW's that were running Castrol Magnetic having the same sticky oil control...

Sho that's pretty shocking, i will be sure not to use it again, the only reason it was in there in the first place is that it is the recommended oil according to Nissan, but that's probably only due to some sort of deal between Nissan and Castrol, i'm much happier now and my exhaust doesn't have...

Hi Guys just an update, on the status of My NAV, i changed the oil to a 20w 50 grade mineral oil by Caltex (Havilin) and after draining the the old oil i was surprised at just how thin the Castrol Magnetic 15w 40 actually is, sort of the same consistency as dirty paraffin, and it all drained out...

Thanks for the advice ill give an oil system a flush and try a slightly thicker grade oil and see what happens, i think that may be because its an auto and a 4.0 V6 the previous owner never gave the motor any real work to do, no towing (no tow-bar ever fitted according to the previous owner, and...

I removed the intake manifold in order to get the coils and spark plugs out for the Wynns treatment on the right hand bank, whole intake system looks clean also check to see if there was oil in the breather pipe and there seems to be very little if any, i also ran the engine without the oil...

Ill be sure to give it a try and ill post if i have any further success, any thing is more affordable then an engine rebuild, and the engine runs so well it seems a shame to go messing with it, i'm also gonna give each cylinders another dose of Wynns as so far its been the only thing to give it...

As far as i know Castrol Magnetic is a part synthetic, which basically means its a mineral oil with additives added to it, apparently if these are left to long in your motor without running the motor they can separate out and cause issues, i not really to sure how ever, all that i am sure about...
