60K Maintenance at 55K?
Wouldn't it make sense to do your 60K maintenance at 55K. This way if you find anything unusual or something goes wrong after you are still under powertrain warranty. I think I'll do my 60K maintenance now at 55K. I wonder if Nissan recommends the service at 60K knowing that your warranty expires at the same time or soon thereafter? Good idea or wait until 60K?

I think it is a good idea, but I wouldn't expect any problems. I took mine in at 58K and had to replace only a few items, nothing major.

Unless you have an awesome dealership, what makes you think the dealer will tell you what problems you car has? Remember, even though they get paid to do warranty service, they get more if they can charge the customer after the warranty expires.
So for example, let's say they find some items that are prematurely worn. My guess is that most dealerships will gloss over it and wait until that part breaks (after warranty of course) to fix it for you. But if you have a cool dealership...well you never know if they will fix things under warranty now. But usually it's pretty tough to get things covered under warranty unless you point it out to them...then reproduce the problem in front of all the service managers.
