My car just hit 50K and I'm wondering what I should do to it in order to insure it's in tip top shape. One thing I've read alot about here is the MAF sensor. I checked my vin against the list of effected cars and it wasn't in the range. Does that really mean that I'm in the clear with this or is it possible that my car may still be effected?

 

All you can do is take care of you car, 1st thing make sure and change your oil like clock work. Then follow you basic matinece intervals. I have a 2k with 109k on it and still runs as good as the day as I bought it. You will have the normal year specific things go wrong you can count on it. Like mine I changed coils, maf, and had 2 reprogram the ecu and bose is dying, but thats it. When your check engine light goes on then it will be time to fix those things, but i dont think its worth fixing them b4 they go bad. The engines are great that we have in our cars just need 2 do basic matinence. thats my .02 anyway

 

I believe that Nissan service reccomends a 60K service like we do at Toyota. At the dealership I work at a 60k service consists of a 19 point inspection, coolant drain and re-fill, 3-part induction cleaner, air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs(if they are not iridium) and replace wiper blades. They also reccomend doing the timing belt at 60k but our cars have timing chains so no worries there

 

read your owners manual

 

either that or call nissan if you don't feel like walking "all the way" to your car, and reading it.
