navara build date issue!

[dezzdash]

hi guys, trying to figure out what oil to use.
my 07? stx d40 td says built nov 2006 but compliance plate says like late 07.

the 06 has no dpf but 2007 does has dpf i believe?

so I'm trying to find out what year my car actually is and whether it has dpf or not.

any help appreciated here fellas

Just look under the NSF door of it has a DPF. Probably not.

Or turn the key on and check the lights on the dashboard, DPF models have a fart light in the lower section of the dash before you turn the key.

 

[dezzdash]

How do i know what it looks like? What colour etc.
Also what is the ps door thing mentioned above?

[dezzdash]

Whats **NSF?

[KraftyPg]

Colour will vary but it looks like

and in the 09's it's at the lower right of the instrument cluster before you switch the key to start.

NSF - Nufti side front door maybe?

Near side front. Passenger front door

Fart light hahah

 

[KraftyPg]

Well I couldn't think what else it looked like

 

[dezzdash]

I see no fart light at all before or after startup.
Can anyone take a pic of their dpf on d40 and post so i can see what im looking for. I dont know what they look like.

My mechanic always uses dpf oil bit with no light im begining to think he has just looked at my 2007 compliance plate and just used oils accordingly. I would have thought he would have known to check and look for the dpf but i still may be wrong there may be a dpf under there but my build date is from nov 2006 (complianced mid-late 2007.

Anyone know when the switch in d40 stx dual cab td went from no dpf to having a dpf?)

If there is no light and FB says so then it's quite unlikely there is one because he knows Nissan's apparently.

Check out ChipIt's website they have pics of where the DPF delete pipe goes which will give you an idea where to find the thing. And the answer to when they actually started them is somewhere in these forums it's just a matter of searching the DPF threads I'm sure.

 

[KraftyPg]

According to a thread by Bosshog, Series 2 and 3 autos (2006-2010) could be fitted with a DPF, but I can't see them putting a light on the dash in the 09 models and not in yours because the light is there to alert drivers the DPF requires attention not just to add more light to the dashboard.

 

[FatBoy89]

Just post your VIN and I'll tell you

 

[KraftyPg]

Is that advisable? Maybe a PM instead of a public post for such information?

But yeah let FB do some work, he's obviously not doing what his boss pays him for

 

[dezzdash]

So your saying mine might have dpf but no light to alert me about it?

Mine is manual by the way

[Old.Tony]

Manuals don't have DPFs at all. Only the autos.

 

[KraftyPg]

Well that explains the missing light.

And for those reading this later. I'm suggesting no light means no DPF. The light is there for alerting the driver it would be stupid to put the DPF on and not put the light there.

Hi Guys,
Just for a reference my D40 auto has a build date of 03/07 and has the DPF.

 

[FatBoy89]

Oh I thought thE OP had a auto vehicle

 

[Old.Tony]

I looked in his garage but it doesn't say, so I kept out of it until he said he had a manual.
