My Max is at 65,000 miles. I need to do some tune up, like changing spark plugs (NGK platinum), ATF change, brakes, PCV... I have two questions:

1. How many miles does the front rotor last? I know this depend on my driving style and I am not an agressive driver.

2. How about fuel filter? I changed it at ~36,000 miles.

Thanks!

 

Rotors should last 100k, but it depends on if you have vibration in the steering wheel when you brake. If so, you need to turn them down or replace.

Fuel filter every 20k...some people do 30k

 

Yeah, the steering wheel does vibrate when I brake, but not every time though. Most of the times it happens when I do light braking. I thought it was my tire balance cause the steering wheel vibrate when I hit around 80mph.

 

Warped rotors can cause steering wheel vibration even when brakes arent applied.

You can get cheap blank rotors for next to nothing now. I would consider replacing them. They may be getting glazed as well.

 

G20Flyer - good point on the warped rotors causing vibrations even when brakes aren't applied - I must have had the local tire shop rebalance my wheels 3 times in 3 weeks because the car kept vibrating on the highway... i was getting ready to try another place... and then in between I happened to replace front pads/rotors and bingo - ride was back to new

For the original question: If you have never had your rotors turned - you can do that with your next brake job - although the cheapest new blank rotors are not much more than having your old much turned (in terms of cost)...

Fuel filter is a pain in the *** to change on our cars (especially if you have ABS, but even otherwise)... every 30k is probably sufficient.

 

With the stock fuel filter I wouldn't go more than 15-20k miles.

 

yup when i replaced mine at 46k brown/dirty fuel was dripping out....

 

BTW, does anyone recommend using the Nissan fuel filter? Or other brand?
