My wife says I have a problem. I have to pop my hood on the 5.5 gen at least once a day. I'll open it to just look around, plan on other mods and sometimes for the hell of it . On my 7th gen I'll do it maybe once a week. I think I do less often on my 7th gen cause everything is covered up?

I don't see a problem here. Carry on, Gamer.

^ knowing how **** Rochester is about the under hood of his car, I'm not sure he is a good reference to help you determine if you have a problem...

3-4 Times a week. Hey, I have a oil burner, want to make sure I don't run too low on oil.

Usually only when I have to top up the washer fluid and in the winter that can be once a week. But otherwise in the summer I only pop it when it starts making noises that I've never heard before, or when I see smoke.

I don't really see a point, girls don't care about that kinda stuff anyways.

Now if I had a 2JZ....

once a day

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

At the least, whenever I put it in the garage for the day. However, since I only drive it a few times a week ('cause I mostly work from home), then that's my answer: a few times a week.

Xpcgamer

On top of the "normal" once or twice a day I also do it every time I fill up to check the oil. That in itself took me 3 weeks on how to read that dum dipstick.

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Huh? uppet:

Pull it, wipe it, insert it, pull it, turn it over, look at it... add oil.

It's pretty straight-forward. You can find the instructions on the back of any box of condoms.

Xpcgamer

iTrader: (5)

You crack me up. Lots of times the oil is covering the entire dipstick with no clear line to see where the level was at. I had only added 4 quarts so I knew it was not full.

If looking under the hood every day keeps him happy and out of trouble, let him have at it.

Xpcgamer

iTrader: (5)

Tell that to my wife!

DennisMik

iTrader: (2)

Then tell her the alternative is for you to go roaming the streets, mugging little old ladies and molesting little kids. :eek5: See what she says to that!

yankeefan13

Once a month at least...

ranmas2004

iTrader: (2)

Once a week to check and see how much oil has been eaten up...and then top off (if needed).

HotshotVQ35

iTrader: (5)

when i do an oil change. i dont burn so no reason to check it everyday

There's no issue here. Once you start having conversations with the car, while you check things, that's when it gets a bit worrying.

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Perhaps he keeps the bong in the garage? Everyone needs a man-cave, you know.

spock

iTrader: (5)

Does talking to yourself count while working on the car? (Bong optional).

Froggmann

iTrader: (6)

Usually once every 2 gas fill-ups. Recently a little more often due to the PS hose leaking a little more than usual.

Tyrone

I guess im not the only one 2times a day i love my max

Xpcgamer

iTrader: (5)

I actually salute my car as I pull out in my 7th gen I think I have a problem. Thats typically when my wife looks at me shaking her head.

Rochester

iTrader: (3)

Respecting the first love. Although that 7th gen is pretty sexy.

StreetcredFL

Daily, same here the wife just shakes her head as I walk towards the garage.....she knows where I'm going.

Rods03Max619

Used to be like once a week with my 03, now with the 02 stock for now 3-4 times a week, to get me hyped up mfor the mods that are going to return for more Powerrrrr......and yes my wife think I have problems also....

Clashez

iTrader: (5)

Once a day ethier before or after i drive, I haz carbon fiber hood with no hood pin. So i like to check the latch for any cracks. Car don't burn oil so no need to check the oil

I think my wife gets more mad when i go up stairs she knows were i'm going ( maxima.org)

Wife speaking : What could you guys have possibly to talk about on that site all the time

Me : Reading how to's , Studying , More reading , planning future mods and talking about are pride and joy (not the wife) the maxima.

Wife : oo so now your goin to spend more money on your car...whats wrong with the rims you got already and why do you need a turbo whats that do ? thats just gay going on that site and talking to guys, your really probally talking to girls....BLA BLA BLAAA....ECT

Sorry had to blow off some steam

Xpcgamer

iTrader: (5)

Its OK. I go thru the same thing. She thinks I'm talking to other women online. Then she'll actually turn the MAC and see what I am reading. Then guess what? She just shakes her head again.

Before being influenced by Roch: once every other month
After being influenced by Roch: once a day, and two-three times a day on weekends

I was once asked: if you like Rochester's engine bay so much why don't you marry it?

Well I tried...didn't work out

spock

iTrader: (5)

"You love that car more than you love me".

Oh, and by the way, I only pop the hood once or twice a week. It doesn't use oil, but I check anyway.

Froggmann

iTrader: (6)

Tell her if she stops buying shoes & clothes you'll stop buying mods.


It worked on my wife.


For 3 days.

I remember those days when being **** about the underhood of my Maxima was an obsession. That hood was opened more than it was closed on a daily.

probably once a week

I poped it today and found a small radiator leak on the upper side, right under where the large coolant hose connects to the radiator on the driver side... I put some RTV sealant over it and hope it will take care of it...

I like to pop the hood to find out everything is fine... Not good when you see dried coolant all over your battery...

DennisMik

iTrader: (2)

Better order a new radiator now. Once these radiators start leaking, they only get worse.
