CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner:

The guys on the M3 forums who had some higher mileage cars reported noticing a difference after cleaning FWIW. Maybe it's something to consider after you service your filters to avoid possible codes later?? Again just thought I'd throw it out there.

I used the MAF cleaner all the time on my turbo car as they do get some coating on the MAF sensor wire itself and that stuff cleans it good.

They wanted to charge me $108.00 to reset the code... Really...

All we have for premium up here is 90, pretty damn weak.

Clean injectors before an oil change
 
The chemicals in most cleaners can seep into the oil and given that it breaks down oil deposits and such it can do the same to the oil. Many recommend that if used, it should be used a couple of tanks of gas before you drop the oil. Can not say if they are right or wrong but seems worth running a couple of tanks of gas just to be sure that any "add to the gas" solvents are out of the tank. Obviously, if the engine is tight then there is less chance of the solvent getting into the oil...

BTW, I don't even think that when you take the car to do an oil change at the dealer they can prove to you that they are using that type of oil.
Nissan will ask for an oil sample and test it, if it gets to that point. We see this all the time when people get there CVT's serviced at independent shops and they put regular tranny fluid in the CVT....then you hear pop.

'09 does not have a cabin filter. Tell him to show you the core.

Just talked to the tech again

They are saying the oil and Carbon deposits on the throttle body are causing the P0305 SES light.

They want to do a fuel service cleaning, don't think I am saying it right but they say that it is done about every 15000 miles. Is this true and should I get it done.

They also want to replace the passenger side cabin filter and do the flush but its expensive like 175... Is it worth it?
So I'm guessing you have a 2010 model? 2009 didn't have cabin air filter. :confused:

i think the stealership is screwing with you or don't know what they're doing. why would oil cause a misfire? especially in only one specific cylinder?

Word of the wise, any time they tell you why something is wrong. Get them to put it in writing. If they cant put it in writing then you know something is wrong. All the work they do and why, get them to put it in writing.

So if they say the gremlin in the engine is causing a problem. Get them to put it in writing. Just in case you have to go back to get it fixed a second time you can ask them what is the reason now? You just might get a new reason second time around and get that in writing also hehe.
