Change the oil, top off the fluids, and use good gas. I think pretty much everything else is good to go for 100k...

Modern Sparkplugs are platnium tipped and good for 75-100k easily. The only time you would need to replace sooner is if you had lean or rich condition and fouled the plugs. Nissan would rather you change them sooner at $$$$ in their pocket. Oil changes.....and fluid checks are fine. Brake pads seem a little cheesy though and probably need replacement by 25k if not 15-20k.

Uh, oil change with oil filter, air filter (clean it/replace it) fill fluids, check tires and air pressures, inspect hoses and connections, check ALL of your lightbulbs, check belts. Did I leave anything out?
