what brand / weight oil do you recommend?
Check the owner's manual, you've got one weight for winter and one weight for the rest of the year, that's what I stick with.
what brand trans. fluid do you recommend?
With that many miles I wouldn't try synthetic unless that's what has been in it already. Just get a good conventional fluid and switch it often.
should i stick with nissan oil and trans. filters vs. aftermarket filters?
I use purolator oil filters without any problems, some recommend OEM oil filter. I don't think you'll find the trans. filter aftermarket at any auto parts stores, but you can order an OEM filter kit off the internet that has the filter, o-ring and gasket. Try alloemautoparts.com
i plan on replacing the stock shocks and struts with kyb. should i go ahead and replace the rear bushings that seem to cause some swaying in some models at the time i replace the shocks and struts?
I changed the struts and shocks but with 98k I still haven't needed the bushings yet.
One thing to keep in mind as you read these posts and service your truck down the line is that the 96 has a completely different EVAP system than the 97 and later pathfinders.
