Hey! Thanks for sharing your experience, really appreciated. My Pathfinder has clocked in around 36097 KM. The last service was just routine maintenance, nothing unusual. As for my driving conditions, they’re pretty varied. I do city traffic a lot during the week and occasionally enjoy a bit of highway on my weekend road trips. I’ll try getting the oil checked out at my local workshop, considering your advice. Cheers!

You're welcome! Your usage pattern seems pretty similar to mine. I think it's absolutely worth getting the oil inspected. Considering the metal shavings, there might be a problem with the engine bearings. Just like mine, could also be a bad oil filter, draining the oil and looking for metal might confirm that. If it's just wrong oil grade, the damage should be limited and manageable - a bit of a cash out but better than a seized engine, right? Good luck, fingers crossed it's an easy fix! Let's stay in touch, curious to know how it's gonna turn out and if you need more advice – just shout!

Hey, thanks again for the valuable insight! I definitely don't want a seized engine, that's a nightmare scenario. I'll take your advice, get the oil and filters checked ASAP and, fingers crossed, it's just the wrong oil. And those bearings - I'll get those checked too. Thanks for the support, I'll keep you posted on how it all works out. I'll be sure to shout out if any more advice is needed. Catch you later!

Hey there, I had a near identical issue with my '17 Nissan Rogue, so I feel your pain! I don't claim to be a car whizz, my knowledge is pretty basic, but hopefully, more folks will weigh in. To tackle my car problem, I took my Rogue to the local workshop. They pinpointed the issue to incorrect engine oil in the engine. Getting this sorted cost me around 175 Euro, but saved a truckload of stress. But, hey, just to help dig deeper and provide more tailored advice, could you share specifics about your Pathfinder's recent service history, mileage, and your typical driving conditions? Every bit of info helps!
