What do I need to replace for 15K? I got a mail from the dealer telling me to go in for service. I figure it must be a rip off.

I do most of driving in highway, and I have auto. So far I have only changed motor oil and rotate tires.

Please advise

15k service does the following...

Change engine oil and filter
Check and fill all fluids
Tire rotation and wheel balance
Replace engine air filter element (clean housing)
Replace fuel filter and inspect fuel system
Battery service (include clean terminals and install battery pads)
Check cooling system including pressure test
Inspect Brake lines and cables
Inspect fuel and vapor lines
Inspect steering gear, linkage axle and suspension
Inspect exhaust system
Inspect drive shaft boots
Inspect brake pads, discs, drums and linings.

Retail suggested price $200.00

I think its really just a check of belts, hoses, brake wear and such... I've heard people say that the dealer wants to charge you $250 to provide this service when most reasonable mechanics could do it for a lot less.

What can I do or check by myself?

What must I let the dealer do? If not consequences?

I know I have slightly warped brakes. Other than that it's fine...

I thought you change the fuel filter much later than 15k?

Eliminate the oil+filter change as well as the
tire rotation [can do that with local mechanic or yourself]
and find out how much would be to replace the engine air filter and fuel filter.

Other check/inspect routines are mostly done with a 3.75k
service worth about $24...

You can call DAVEB and find out how much the engine air
filter and fuel filter costs.

First off, erotiz15 must be from a dealer as the 2k maxima has no fuel filter to replace as a maintainance item.
The filter is in the gas tank and requires no changes.

First off, mike-777 I'm not a dealer. I would've identified
myself as one in my first post and I would've suggested to
come to my dealership if I was one.

I have a Nissan recommended service list in my hands which I collected in my recent service.

This list covers all nissan vehicles.
If the 2k maxima has no fuel filter to replace as a maintenance item, then I stand corrected

oil and filter change + tire rotation + visual inspections. You can do all that yourself. I don't know about the fuel filter though... I didn't replace that..
