Hey all, Just bought a 02 Max 6speed and it has 51k for miles (heavy highway). What parts would be a good idea replacing since it has higher miles? I am pretty sure it has a timing chain, not a belt. Anyone experience problems on their 02 6 speed lately? thanks!

 

Do a tuneup (plugs, oil change, fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve...), change the tranny fluid, change the coolant, check tire pressure, and wash it

Not sure what the common problems are for the 2002s, but watch your HIDs before they get stolen!

 

jatan covered it except for maybe clay bar,polish,etc. Ask the guys in the 5th gen forum. Your question will be MUCH better answered there.

 

fuel filter...its crucial, use some fuel system cleaner, air intake cleaner/spray into TB. clean Tb as well.

 

you wanna maybe get some BG 44K to clean basicly the whole engine

 

Don't forget the interior air filter (found behind your glovebox). You can just dunk it in soapy water.

 

why is the fuel filter a must? In the 2k2/3s its more of a fuel strainer than a filter, and it is not even considered a wear item according to Nissan. If there were driveability problems, I could see changing it. Not a flame, just a question.
