Hey, just bought a new 2007 Xterra SE Night Armor 4X2 about a month ago. Here is my situation, I'm 16 years old, and I paid for this car myself. The reason I bought an Xterra is because they seem to last really long (and are cool) and I would really like it if this car lasted a REALLY long time. I spent most of my money on this car because I did not want to get a used car and have to buy another car when I got out of college (six years from now). So, here is what I would like to know; which Nissan service schudle should I be on? It will not be taken off-roading really at all, might make a Tahoe run a year, it dosent snow or anything where I live and there are paved roads only for the most part. It will be driven during the school year, 2 or so miles to school and then 2 or so back (I know thats kind of bad for it, but it will still do a long freeway commute a few times a week). Also, should I use a different type of oil to get maximum longevity out of this car? In terms of gas, it says you can use 87 so I've jus been doing that, let me know if I shouldent. Anything outside of what the manual says that I should keep in mind for this car's well-being (rear Diff.) ? Is there anything I should be on the lookout for (warning signs for problems to be etc.)?
And finally, sorry about the long post, when I turn the A/C on , it sort of makes a vibrating sound, almost like a rattle, but more of a hum. Its quiet enough that I don't really notice it with the setero on even in idle, but it is definitly something other than the air being pushed out by the a/c making that noise, just making sure it okay is all, the a/c really works well though (if thats important). Any other tips would be greatly appreaciated, since nobody around me has an 05' or later Xterra, and therefore has no tips. Sorry about the way too long post but I wanted to know and it would be great if you guys got back to me.
