Hi all,
New to this site. I just completed a 3500 mile trip hauling a loaded down U-haul trailer. This trip took me from Western Washington State to South Georgia through mountain passes and countless steep grades. I was worried the whole time that my 2005 stock Xterra S was going to drop its transmission but she made it. I am now wondering if I need to have someone check it out. Maybe the transmission oil needs changing? I changed the motor oil before I left and added a quart midway through the trip. It seems to be driving just fine but I need this vehicle to last awhile longer so I need to know if there are things I need to be concerned about after such a grueling drive. Any suggestions?
