You know how everyone complains that their car isn't working, well ...
 

Mine isn't. It's running great and I just got 19.5 mpg on my last tank

Makes me happy. Took her to redline and then shifted (I'm auto) into 4th when I hit O/D off. Such a beautiful thing.

well i cause all of my problems, they are because of my driving style and from me hitting the redline at least afew ti mes a day :santa: . If i drove the car "normal" then the only problem i would of had so far is knock sensor and tuneup.

Mine too :hat: . . and I break at least 20MPG per tank dispite my agressive driving habbits.


:thumbsup: Lets make this thread the official "my car is running great" thread.

My car is running very nicely right now and I put new brake pads on so it's stopping nicely. 19.5 mpg? Thats nothing. I don't think I've gone under 20mpg since last summer.

i took a trip to ohio and back last week i got 415 miles on 15 gallons

4th = overdrive

i've been getting about 23 mpg for a while now, more or less. knock on wood...

just washed my car with the MR. Clean stuf, so it looks nice, drives fine, just got a new CV boot though

this thread must make the maxima owners that have major problems hate us...

o well, mine is working great,too. I just finished a tune up and i know that the car just loves it.

Mines working great too :) 251,000km's and it works like a new one :D

Need to give it a wash though, tons of roadworks in my area lately so it's got mud and all sorts splashed all over it.

never calculated my gas millage, what ever it is , then thats what it is, i cant change it so i dont realy care.

Mine drives good goes rlly nice, 110,000miles, only loosing power stearing oil and need to wash the engine and change the trany and engine oil soon...:)

Mines running great. Getting ready to do the body color door pillar mod sometime this week. No unusal sounds. Of course you shouldn't expect too many problems from a Maxima that has just over 50K on it. Doing an oil change Tues. Mobil 1 is good, right? Oh, plus the Slick 50 stuff.

Take it easy.

Scott_98Max,

Mobil 1 is fine. Why are you going to add Slick 50? An oil like Mobil 1 doesn't need any aftermarket additives mixed with it. Mobil does a fine job themselves. Slick 50 is commonly regarded as snake oil. FTC fined them and many others for making unsubstantiated claims. Personally, I'd just stick with a quality oil (Mobil 1, Castrol GTX, or several others) and filter, and change as recommended or as oil analysis dictates.

Back on topic, my '97 is running fine. Just have a funny "whirring" sound when braking very softly at low speeds (consistent with wheel speed, but no pulsating in brake pedal). And I have some chips on the front end. A few little dings from inconsiderate people. And my passenger airbag cover has some of the color rubbed off.

Dave

I envy all of you.

475 miles to my last tank-o-petro when I drove out to the Montgomery Alabama from Houston. That, and she ran a 14.8 once there. I guess shes running good wouldn't you say guys? Oh yeah. I'm 5 speed.

my car is running so gorgeous, i just can't seem to get out of it. It's awsome I actualy look forward to driving it. Nothing wrong with it at all. Yeah she's got a few rock chips but what 95 doesn't. And I still can't get over the feel of y pipe and jwt ecu. God it's awsome. :grinno: :grinno: :grinno:

It's a start since I do mostly city driving. My trip to and from work is 1 mile which takes 5 minutes. I think 19.5 is pretty good considering I was getting 14-16 last month

Forgot to add my MPG rating :) Last tank I got 29.7mpg or 7.9L/100km :D

Thats mostly highway speeds though.

It's nice to see a post about how we like our maximas. My car is working great as well.

Hey Dave, What's up? Thanks for the tips man, I really appreciate it. The only reason why would think about using Slick 50 is that I used it in my old '95 Nissan Hardbody XE pick-up. Drove it, from 36K when I bought it, 200K+ and still was able to get $3k for a trade-in. :laugh: Let's just say that it didn't always get the maintenance that it required. :slant:

It was my delivery trunk when I was working Pizza. Had the truck for 3 years (approx. time that I worked Pizza) and the only things I had to replace were the altenator and the Radiator. The radiator was my fault. I hit/ran over a bear going about 75-80.

Anyways...I'm off topic a little bit. That's why I would Slick 50...plus, what about the warrenty they offer...? I mean, I don't want to kill the Max, but I do know that it hasn't done me wrong in the past...any other thoughts?

Thanks again, Take it easy.
