Since I'm getting my brother's '98 SE once again, I know there will be at least 100K on the odo, but unlike how I took care of it, he's negligent on other maintenance issues, so would it be worth it to do the 90K service and an inspection despite how much it will cost me, and what else would I expect to replace at 100K?

 

I think the dealer services are rip-offs. They do about 50 bucks worth of actual work and charge 250 just to inspect.

 

Go ahead and do the full 60k service:
Plugs
Belts
Fuel & Air filters
Flush the coolant
Flush the trans
Change the oil
Rotate, balance & align the wheels


Do all of this if you have no idea what he has done before. Use Castrol GTX dino oil if you dont want to spring for synthetic.

 

Oh yeah, you everything except the tires and trans yourself.

 

At 50k, i changed the spark plugs, tranny oil, motor oil, fuel filter and pcv valve. Combined, boy it made a difference ... just like new.

just dont let anyone talk you into changing your timing belt

 

And dont forget the blinker fluid....... j/k.....

 

At 100k miles you should excpect the same maxima as it was 100k miles ago.

 

belt?

 

At 100,000 miles, the car is just getting broken in...... As long as the maintenence is kept up on it, you will have a long realtionship with your Maxima....

 

yeah......except for sensors, water pump, coil packs, cv joints, etc., etc.

 

How much did you pay for the 60K maintenance?

 

Mine ran about 400 from the dealer..... oil change, transmission flush and fill with new filter, coolant flush and fill, lubricate all locks and hinges, tune up with NGK Platinums, fuel injector service..... It was expensive, but worth it though..... I could have done alot of the work myself, but I had just bought the car, and I didnt know what maintenence hed been done to it..... So, I had the dealer do it.....

 

Yeah, dealers want I think at least $450 for the 60K service, I'm still debating on whether or not to have the dealer do the 60K or have my dad's mechanic do it, what do u guys recommend?

 

Dude Is that your car in your sig? I saw that car or one just like it on ebay the other day. said it was being sold for a friend in Jail. Just checkin because it is a nice ride and it was at like 5000 on ebay.

 

he just baught it

 

sweet hope he got rid of those altezzas

 

at 100k miles you should expect ANOTHER 100k miles of driving

 

you should expect to see a 1,then five 0's

 

Reaching 98K with my car, personal experience says check the struts for wear if they weren't replaced already. Muffler might have some rot holes beginning too though my car has holes but still hasn't increased in noise level in the 20K miles since I first noticed the spots forming. Might need an oxygen sensor or two if your SES light's on. Brake pads could always stand to be checked if you don't know the last time they were redone. Probably need a thorough cleaning too.
