1)I am a couple of miles short of my first service (the first 3750 miles). I am wondering what i need to get done on the car now that is going back to the dealers. I have seen lots of posting on TSBs, the wind noise reduction, ECU updates, that clunk sound when shifting the gears etc..
Can anyone give me a list of things that should be done?

2)There was a posting about 13 tweeks that could be done to your car, if anyone has that could they please post that as well.

3)Circuit City has started offering intake systems, has anyone else noticed this? Would you trust your car to them?

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Circuit City selling air intakes? You can also get the subwoffer that looks like a NOS bottle. Why buy an intake from circuit city when you can buy it from Pep Boys?

I have a brand new Maxima as well (New Zealand spec). I can't understand why your first service is at 3750 miles and my one at 15,000 kms = 9375 miles? I see a lot of you change the oil after 3000 miles. According to the dealer and my handbook the oil has to be changed every 15000 kms or 1 year whatever comes first. Can somebody throw some light on that?

In the US Max's at least, there are two schedules for maintenance. One of them is the "severe duty" schedule, if you drive in traffic, dust, etc. - that gives you a shorter interval between maintenance.

Lots of people, including me, believe that 3,000 is the right interval for an oil change. The oil can get pretty dirty in 3,000 miles, and over the life of the car you end up paying something like $200 for the added protection for your engine.
