MaximamixaM

Just trying to keep the Maxima running reliably. Did one 60K at 60K, and closing in on another 60K at 120K. Of course timing belt and spark plugs. I was also planning on replacing the water pump while having the service done, even if it was replaced at 60K (need to check records) because I don't want it to go bad and have to pay for labor again. Also distributor cap, rotor, accesory belts, fuel filter. Anybody also change the radiator hoses, or do they seem to go bad on Maximas? Should they change the thermostat also or wait for problems? Just trying to keep it reliable. Thanks for any info. Any idea how much this might cost at the dealer, or at a local garage? Are autozone type parts good enough quality, or do they need to be OEM?

anything you did at 60k do again.
Do the o2 if not recently done
T-stat is supposed to be replaced/checked every 2 years along withthe antifreeze and radiator cap.
Be careful of autozone parts. some of their stuff is ok but most is cheap sh|t for cheap customers.
of course I'm also biased about part quality.
