Thats just contaminated water (condensation). Catch cans dont reduce carbon buildup in gdi engines. That water would be burned off in the pcv lines thats how the systems are designed.
Catch cans don't reduce carbon buildup in gdi engines they only collect water (condensation) that would get burned off in the pcv hoses anyways. 3k mile oil changes with good synthetic and regular maintenance is all we can do.
@@jamesa8225 do you mean the inside of the machine and all the plumbing? I'm not sure you can open it up easily. I'm confident that using citric acid or even vinegar to descale the unit on a regular basis is sufficient to handle any bacteria or mold. In addition, the RO process itself is one of the most effective ways to purify water.
I did this and my 23' caught the same amount of oil. It's good to know that oil is not going back into the intake. I wonder if this catches it all? The baffle that holds the mesh is pretty small.
@@chuckyz2the PCV system returns oil vapor to the intake manifold to be burned. Which works fine in port injection. But in direct injection, this can lead to carbon deposits since the back of the valves aren't being sprayed with fuel
I had just bought a 2024 Nissan Pro 4X 2 weeks ago. That same day I had place an order, anyways upon receiving it I had just put 250 miles on it commuting during the week work and home., I had just check the catch can a week after instal and sure enough there is oil about the size of a half a tea spoon so this stuff works great. Thank you for recommending this $34 oil catch can, I got mine in anodized silver color.. luv it
@@Commentleaver-c6x I've read that Nissan engineers have said the carbon buildup isn't a concern with the 3.8, but again I figured it's cheap insurance to go with a catch can in this price range. A $200 catch can? No way
@@dialSforFresh 20 mpg in mixed city and highway driving. Each mod lowers it a bit. Removing the front air dam was 1 mpg, the lift was another 1 mpg loss, and some of the extra weight is another 1 mpg drop. When I was totally stock, I could get 23 mpg cruising on the highway at 65
@@frontier_etc Really did your setup. I’m on the hunt for one, I just can’t justify the interest rates right now. Like anywhere from 6-8%. Last question… That 9 speed still pretty smooth?
@@CocosTube do you have the mineral boost filter in the unit? Either way, you should empty out the tap water tank every time you're done with a cycle. Also, if you just got the device, make sure to run the filter with 2 full cycles and discard the water each time to get the initial filters prepped. Also, what was your TDS showing from the tap?
@@joseph3544 this is what you're looking for, it's not cheap though. The alternative would be to look for an Etsy seller that makes an emblem of the same size amzn.to/4fjWb3F
@@OnOurWayAllens I personally use citric acid powder like this: amzn.to/3WAAhBY. AquaTru also sells a descaling powder made for this device on their website. And you can also use any coffee machine descaler.
@@dialSforFresh I don't think it hunts for gears at all. If you ever see someone say that their 9 speed hunts for gears, they don't know what gear hunting actually is. This 9 speed stays in whatever gear is best for the particular load. It shifts up through the gears from a stop smoothly. It will downshift when you need to accelerate.
I have the same truck, same color except it’s a ‘21’ ….last year of old body style but new 3.8/ 9 speed….. How do you like the 3.8 engine and now that the truck is almost 5 years old… Any issues with mentioning? How many miles so far? Thanks for video 👍
@@gswguy4554 no major issues so far. Something I've had and have been monitoring since new is a very slight engine knocking sound on cold starts in the winter only. I gave a 3 year update in a previous video, feel free to check it out.
@@GeXExtremist I don't add salt after, but you can if you want. And yes, reverse osmosis is one of the most effective purifying methods for water. It will remove micro plastics, fluoride, lead, etc. and the carafe is glass, so the clean water is stored in glass, not plastic.
Maybe, but I think for the price of a universal one like this, there isn't that much to lose. Now if we're talking about one of the higher end $200 ones, then it might not be worth it
Hi, I've still been happy with this purifier after more than 1.5 years with it. I've already gone through a few filters changes and it's still working well. The carafe and the machine work with magnets, so theoretically you can use another carafe with it, but you'd need to place a magnet in the correct spot. The machine also relies on a built-in float in the carafe to know when to stop. The best option would be to buy a second carafe if you'd like to use more than one at a time.
It’s totally fine to top off the freshwater carafe any time as long as you’re emptying and refilling the tap water tank when it tells you to, that’s how it’s designed to be used.
Yes. My concern would be a situation like this: full tap water tank in back, carafe half empty. Place the carafe back on the unit and then it fills up with clean water. Then the tap water tank in back is now partially made up of waste water. But it's not empty enough to remove, dump, and refill. So then it sits in there, waiting for you to use more of the water in the carafe. My preference would be to only cycle through full tap water tanks, and then dump and refill as soon as possible after it's done
@@frontier_etc that situation is totally normal and OK, it’s designed to be used that way and is of no detriment to do that in any way. You’re supposed to basically forget about the tap water tank until it indicates to be emptied and refilled, and use as little or as much water in the carafe as you want any time.
When it was completely stock, I once got 23mpg on the highway, calculated at the pump. Removing the air dam lowered it by 1mpg. With the small lift now, it's lowered a bit more to around 20mpg highway now. Definitely still improved over the old 4.0
Valvoline Maxlife ATF. The Nissan specs call for conventional Nissan branded ATF (they call it D3M) fluid, and Maxlife ATF is considered the best ATF on the market and folks online have had good luck with it
I had one of these when I was back in England. It's badged as a Navarra and it was a 2006 2.5 TDI. I now live in Canada and have a 2023 Frontier Pro 4x. Transmission update does smooth out the sharp shifting. I loved my 2006 and love my 2023.
Could you do another video thats step by step for someone who knows nothing about crimping or wiring or anything electric? I have the lights and am good with instructions but hoping you can do a detailed step by step with exact parts ill need and steps to follow
Hi, there are quite a few other videos on RU-vid on how to do the actual wiring of grille lights, including using crimpers and add a circuits. I suggest you search for DIY AUTO PHOTO, he's got a video where he goes step by step on his Xterra, which is very similar to Frontiers. Those are what helped me. My video was more to specifically help 2020-22+ folks, because we use a different fuse from the older model Frontiers. On top of that, I've since removed my grille lights because one of them started flickering and I chose not to spend more money on new ones.
I have a 2020 S 2wd with the 3.8, I bought brand new in Jan of 2021. The engine had to be replaced after 30K miles and a year of owning it. (Dealership had been doing all the recommended service, but rod bearings failed on cylinder 4). Right now, I am at 96,000 miles, I had all the recalls done, and the transmission reprogram did not do anything, but they did fix the parking pawl and that did solve the parking issue. Issues aside (all new vehicles have problems, I have a 2020 F250 6.7 diesel sitting in my yard that needs a new main wire harness that Ford cannot get), the truck has been alright as long as you baby it, lots of service, fluid changes (brake, coolant, oil, etc.), and anything rubber will need to be replaced every year. I do appreciate that it does not have the ability to do wireless updates, I am looking at you RAM/Dodge, that brakes things or relays driving conditions/vehicle conditions to the manufacturer.
@@frontier_etc Very loud Knocking that was rpm sensitive. It also felt like I was down on power, I drove it home and tried to start it the next day, but the engine was done by that time. Had to have it towed to the dealership. The good thing was since the dealership had done all the maintenance, there was no arguing about the replacement.
Yes, since new, it makes a humming sound together with the vibration sound. The pump is quite noisy but about the same as other countertop RO systems I've used.
Hey there, just wondering about the Valvoline ATF you are using for transfer case. Do you think Valvoline ATF will be compatible with truck's power steering fluid. My search so far lead me to believe it is compatible, would you use Valvoline ATF on your power steering fluid?
@@frontier_etc I'm inside motors all the time and I've been seeing a lot of where on internal parts when they started telling people that they can go 5,000 mi on a oil change 7,000 mi on a oil change I've been also replacing a lot of engines. If you keep the oil clean and not black your engine will last a lot longer. Black means carbon and gas is in the oil.
Hi, thanks for vid. Question on 0:22 timeline, I see the out from oil catch can going into intake manifold on the right? And the in of catch (left side of catch can in the vid) can you are route it down there on the other line of the engine? Can you confirm that is how you suppose to do it?
Hi, yes. Basically, the stock PCV system includes 1 hose that goes from under the intake manifold to the back. You remove that one hose and replace it with this catch can
@@frontier_etc So can you confirm, catch can out into intake manifold, catch can in goes to the bottom engine? It seems like it but I want to be sure before I do the work
@@slothypunk yes, that's correct. See this other video I made that shows it more clearly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gZSa_STMKfc.html
