The 2001 Nissan Pathfinder features a timing chain and various potential engine-related challenges. These include the risk of a spark plug detaching, leading to engine problems, as well as the possibility of a loose gasket that requires tightening. Oil leaks should be promptly addressed, while engine overheating presents a critical issue that could result in fires and even explosions. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate more frequent oil changes than usual. Coolant replacement is recommended every 60,000 miles, and the air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs typically need to be changed every 100,000 miles, except for copper ones, which require replacement every 30,000 miles.
