Childish, but I can hardly wait. Going to clean out the Maxima now so I don't forget anything.Went by the dealer, they moved it around back and it's now got the 3M nose mask on....

09 Murano SL AWD Moonroof pkg and luxury pkg.Already got my K&N filter ready for it.Starting to look for replacement drive/fog lamp bulbs.Hope to add an iPhone module of some sort in the future.

I've got it! But been so busy with work, haven't had time to take pics and post.Good thing is I've driven it a lot since I picked it up Wednesday evening.Got almost 800Km on it already. Did my first fill up tonight, squeezed in 78 liters. Won't be trying to run it that low anymore, but at least I have an idea of how far I can go when the warning comes up. Info center says I've got 850 on the tank. I know, it's an estimate. But, believe me, If anyone can squeeze mileage out of the Murano, I can. Most of my driving is the hi-way, about 60-100Km each way. So I'm light on the pedal.Eager to find out how much I can get from a tank full once the engine is broken-in (if they still require it these days).Tomorrow adding and K&N drop in filter. My first mod!Also want to change the colour of the driving lights ,with the HIDs so white, the yellow looking has to go.Down the road, will run Synthetic oil. Any recommendations on brands?What other mods are popular? What have people had success with and what's considered a waste?Let's talk Muranos people!

So excited I could piddle like a puppy!

The Murano still has engine break in. Once the engine is broken in there will be a noticeable improvement in mileage. I forgot what mileage I noticed it but it was a nice gain. I've had mine for about 16 months now.

Got over 13K KM on the Murano now, put winter tires and black rims on for the winter, it's great in snow.Too bad we don't have a lot of snow so far. Using the AV imputs on the back of the console for my iPod so far.Put 2 coats of wax on the Murano before the snow fell.I love driving it, I take it everywhere. I used to park the Maxima in the evenings and week-ends and drove my wifes Saturn Vue for errands etc. But now we take the Murano everywhere. LOL

I've had the Murano for 91/2months now. Got just over 42,000KM on it. No real issues so far.
Last oil change, switched over to Mobil1 Synthetic.
Finally got white (6500K) bulbs to replace the factory driving lights. Maybe this week-end I can change them.
Pulled the battery connection a while back to reset some stuff and do some work under the hood.
When I reconnected the battery, I noticed a few things.
The sunroof doesn't open in 1/4 increments anymore, tried reprogramming, but no luck. Will ahve dealer look at it next service.
Got lights under the armrests and under the dash over the centre console area. Also, left hand switch panel has all lights except one switch? Weird.
Pulled winter rims off and TPS warning light is on again. They tried resetting the tire pressure last time in, need to reset the TPS I guess. (they did that last time too).
Mileage is suspect, but went to the States and changed over to imperial, so I was getting almost 30mpg on the hi-way, saw 34mpg a couple times. In metric, not unusual to read 8.5l per 100KM. Not great in the city, but I do most of my daily driving on the hi-way.
Found an iPhone module that will allow me to use the steering wheel controls to control it. Can hardly wait!
I should post some pics. Maybe this week-end.
