Owners of Nissan vehicles with this engine often complain about fuel consumption rather than breakdowns, but it does have one weak spot. Due to poor quality fuel, the catalytic converter deteriorates, and its particles are drawn into the engine cylinders, causing scratches and excessive oil consumption. Overheating is also a common issue with this engine as the cooling system is not well-designed. If you do not carefully monitor the cleanliness of the engine radiator and the condition of its fans, the valve cover gaskets will quickly harden, leading to oil leakage into the spark plug wells. Additionally, the fan clutch for cooling has a relatively low lifespan, and without hydraulic compensators in the engine, valve clearances will need to be adjusted.
