1991 Nissan Pathfinder Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Nissan? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Nissan? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Pathfinder’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Pathfinder's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Nissan Pathfinder transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Nissan, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Nissan Pathfinder transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Nissan Pathfinder, potentially causing transmission problems.
