What owners report
“I am the original owner of a 2001 nissan xterra xe v6 3.3l engine. All maintenance done at mossy nissan is san diego. I am now having to replace the head gasket after 89000mi. Nissan does not offer any warranty for the failure of the engine gasket. This is problematic and needs to be corrected. *tr”
