Nissan Pathfinder / Infiniti QX4 Maintenance, Upgrades, Modifications

If you’re fortunate enough to own a 1995–2005 Pathfinder or 1996-2002 Infiniti QX4, you already know how awesome the R50 chassis is. We’ve compiled a great guide on some of the most popular maintenance, upgrade, and repair discussions and articles, just for your convenience. (HINT: Bookmark this page!)

If that wasn’t enough, we’ve also included links to the Factory Service Manuals for both vehicles for your reference. Enjoy, and make sure you pop into the Pathfinder / QX4 forums if you have questions, or just want to chat with other owners!
