Took vehicle in to dealer because of white smoke at startup lasting < 10 Seconds. Vehicle had no warning lights or computer codes.
Dealer identified engine as 'sludged' and recommended a complete engine replacement . Vehicle has been primarily used for highway driving >100 miles. Oil was changed s in my experience.
Seems like 51000 mile engine replacement is not typical of Nissan engines.
A local mechanic will replace engine with remanufactured for roughly $12000.
