Thought on Spark replacement
I just had a thought. I always wonder since I'm not due for a spark plug replacment yet since I have 33k miles on my Max. I would like to do them myself to put Super Copper plug since they are best even though requires more frequent change. Despite that they say Platinum doesn't need til 100k miles. I suspect that the electrode can't last that long that would proabably worn down to nothing possibly before the 100k mile mark. Those who have done the spark change, how do you get access to the rear bank facing the firewall to get to the spark? Since the front side is easy to access since it's facing the radiator side with elbow room. Seem like a b!tch to do

Just replaced spark plugs on my 2k Maxima (67k miles). I am glad I did it. The old plugs surely had gaps more than 0.044, recommended in manual, in fact 2 of them had 0.07.
It took me about 30-40 minutes to replace all 6 plugs. Had to take off the accelerator wire to get to #5 (2 bolts that hold the accelerator wire bracket - do not disassemble it :-))
Nothing really difficult. Definitely beats paying the dealer :-)
