No, sorry. People with Nissan and Toyota trucks routinely ignore them, abuse them, and beat them. I’ve seen some that had 30,000 mile oil change intervals that were still going strong at 250K. That’s why they got the reputation they did.

The only “gotcha” on the Nissan trucks is that on the older ones you MUST change the timing belt at the specified interval or you will be replacing the engine shortly thereafter.

Those are the smaller Nissan and Toyota trucks,. The Japanese have done a great job with them but as far as full sized trucks, the Japanese brands haven’t been on the market long enough to really know. I still see Ford and Chevys from the 70’s and 80’s on the road today. In 20 years will we see 2003 Tundras and Titans? Who knows.
