Max in the shop. Withdrawal :(

Riding around in my wife's Stratus just isn't the same.

Just got my wisdom teeth out this morning. Had to drop Max off at the shop first. He's getting:

- Crank sensor recall
- VTC sprocket rattle TSB
- Both rear O2 sensors
- Trans cold slip problem

While it's in they are also gonna do a FI service (inj. flush) and replace the serpentine belt(s). All this is costing me about $300 including the O2 sensors.

I think when he gets back from the shop I'll reward him with a nice FSTB.

Anything else I should have them fix or check while it's in the shop? 44K miles. Had trans svc. and coolant flush done at 40k. When do the plugs need to be replaced on the 3.5 -- I thought it was 100k?

all stock plugs put on 02+ Maximas ( i think all nissans) are Platnium Plugs, so no need to change till 100k. Fuel Filter Maybe???
