Fairly cool this morning. I noticed it took longer to warm up, almost 5 miles. Stopped by the Nissan dealership and ordered a thermostat to get the warm up distance to just over 1 mile. Typical scenario with an old OE thermostat, they won't close completely.
That should help my MPG or at least mitigate the effects of lower temperatures. I'm beating on the door of 40 MPG in this $300 car. Thermostat is right up front right side, next to the exhaust manifold and easily accessible, might just loosen it up and let it drain there.
No measureable oil consumption in over 1000 miles and the oil is still clean, everything looking good otherwise.
