yup...the $457.00 is labour... motorist at marabella carries these filters as well but i am now passing 5000kms so i did not purchase the diesel filters as yet (my van carries two) and if they are out of stock, i will import from uk becasue i have time... there is a genuine filter kit selling in uk that consists of two fuel, air and oil filter for average 20 pounds... these filters are so cheap in uk and thailand and them ppl here kill yuh with price ($1000TT) for two diesel filters, thats is maddness.....
my padna might also import these filter kits!!!!!

Ok guys, so now that this post is in the correct thread (thanks Biggy82), I've got some more information - the service manuals for the D22 Frontier. Got it off www.nissanhelp.com and thought I'd share it with you frontier-freaks (I love my D22 3.0 TDI).


Here's the Service Manual for the 2002 D22 Frontier
- http://bit.ly/bsbLzd

And here's the Engine & Electrical manual for the 2002 D22 Frontier
- http://bit.ly/9BTMzM


I'll try to post more stuff on both the Navara and Frontier as I get the material.

Happy digging!

[ravist]

gready, i know this is not your vehicle but why is there an oil catch can in a fairly new engine, does it have a blowby problem?? will after market piping increase performance??

[jhonnieblue]

[gready123456]

pipeing =looks , i dont think there would be a noticable increase in power if any at all .

turbo = blow by no matter of its a small amount


jonnie how was the service how much was ?

[jhonnieblue]

service came up to 711 in total, that was service charge 457+vat and cost of the oil filter, 160+vat i think

good thing is no oil change at the 10k service, hav to check the book to see what is done in that one

HA i called NM and ask how much for an oil filter they told me 220 , but 160 is not bad very much the same price at Motorists u should ask them how much for other stuff when u servicing by them like air filter and fuel filter

[Dj_Bee]

anyone ever installed an oil catch can in thrie d22 frontier?, my engine has had a back pressure problem for a long time, but i blanked the intake line and ducted the line coming from the engine to under the van, so no oil would go to the turbo....
im thinking bout installing a oil catch can....i just wanted to know if anyone ever did this or has had a backpressure problem like this, because i kno a few prople whose frontiers have a slight back pressure...

[Dj_Bee]

ooh..and is chevron 15w-40 engine oil is good to use on the 2.5 d22 frontiers?
been using the castrol hypuron before but thinking bout trying a different oil

15w-40 is the recommended oil for diesel engines in our climate. Check the maintenance thread and Navara/Frontier thread for advice on oil and different brands >>>> Check this search query out for more posts.

Here's a link about the Castrol Hypuron you've been using:



And another link about the different oils other tuners using in their vans.

check these forums

http://www.navara.asia/forum.php
http://www.nissan-navara.net/

alot of good information on there man from solving problems to mods to audio u name it

[ravist]

Dj_Bee, I had two frontiers TBT and TCA (4x2 Turbo) and the both of them had back pressure issues.... I never installed a catch can but i used a heavier mineral oil 20W 50 and an add-in called Engine Restorer (half way through the oil change)..... I can't say if the blowby decreased but it eased the burning of oil....

[Dj_Bee]

ravist, well my van dosent back pressure that much as to burn or throw out so much oil as to aee a difference in oil levels, but i still wanted to be on the safe side with the catch can.
