Bought an 09 in Aug. 08.
As you see I don't drive much. I have changed oil and filter each 4k miles. Changed Engine air filter, inside air filter, rotated tires several times.......battery just failed/replaced.
Wondering what I should do next?

 

Check the requirement to replace the cvt oil. Used to be every 30k on my old altima... Not sure about the maxima...

 

cvt fluid should be drained/filled at 40k for premium maintenance plan, 60k for standard

 

Thanks for answers!
Think I will change fluid now as the car has 26 k miles but is over 4 years old.
Wondering , have not done any research, how the oil is changed?
I had a Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 and have a leftover oil change vacum can that will remove oil through a dipstick. Crossfire oil change was about $125.

 

It will be a bit of an eye opener with the Maxima CVT fluid cost. It has come down in price but is still very expensive by most standards. You dont want to skimp--use only a certified Nissan product as the CVT is very expensive to replace on your own dime if they void the warranty.

I am not aware of anyone who has changed it themselves but sure its possible. . Dealers are charging north of 200 to do the CVT fluid change which is better than the 300 I paid a few years back.

 

Under the stickies, in the installation/how-to section, you'll find a step by step cvt fluid change write up.

 

yeah i just did my CVT fluid a few weeks ago and posted the write-up on here check it out, it's REALLY easy. you'll feel like a dumbass paying someone for $200 for doing this. it's about 80-90 for the fluid itself
