Maintains on 5.5 Gen

I am coming up on 100,000 miles on my '02. I wanted to know other then

spark plugs
fluid change (Radiator, Tranny, etc.)

What else should I have done? I did a search but really didn't come up with anything regarding this.

wow you drive a lot haha actually i was doing a search on this too because i just hit 90,000 miles on my 02' but didn't really find much either. i did call the nissan dealership and they said something about premium maintance or something like that. they say it's about $280-$500 depending on what needs to be changed and stuff =/

Change your fuel filter, flush and fill the coolant, change plugs, inspect brake fluid, change belts, and update the flux capacitor and you should be good to go!

Isn't the fuel filter in the gas tank? If so how do you change it without dropping the tank?

HOSES!

CHECK EACH ONE FOR SOFT SPOTS OR CRACKING!

If you are going to break down on a hot day...it will probably come from a radiator hose...especially the lower ones.

On my other car....I just had them changed at 100K to prevent such a breakdown.

thanks!

It is in the tank but you get access to it under the rear seat. The filter is supposed to be good for the life of the car but some people have changed it anyway and claimed it made a difference. I don't think I'm going to bother with mine.
