50K Miles Service -- Please help

What should I be looking to do at my 50K service? I stopped going to the dealer a while back, and all I have been doing are the oil changes (besides the ****ty brakes/rotors...) Also, I just had the SES light and the dealer reprogrammed my ECU.

So, what do I really need to know/do at 50K, or should have done by now???

Any and all info appreciated!

Thanks. Most of the things there are "INSPECT"... just like the service book.
I guess besides the oil and air filtet nothing needs to be done yet.

Yeah, it's mostly inspect, but the fuel filter should have been changed. The first big service is at 60k.

right, this is when they suggest changing the spark plugs and, if you haven't done it by now, putting in a SC or turbo. Basic stuff

You should do nothing, that's what's awesome about Maxima's they need no real maint. No timing belts, no water pumps that need constant replacing.

Wait to 100K and change the plugs, or do it now. You might also want to think about the fuel filter.

My car has near 95K on it and the fuel filter has been changed once, clutch once cause the SC tore up my old one, and plugs. Nothing else has been changed other then the mods.
