Just get regular oil changes(every 3000 miles), coolant flushes and parts when the car needs it. The rest of it is unecessary bullsh!t. I drove my '95 altima to 120,000 this way and I have a friend that put 257,000 miles on a '93 sentra with a 1.8 litre fo-banger and both cars ran perfectly at the time we got rid of them. I don't expect any less from my '03 Max. If it's running fine, leave it alone.

As far as what biggmax says I am not too sure, he may have been lucky. Preventative maintenance is always less expensive in the long run.
