Nissan Maxima: 90k service

    90k service

    I just recently bought my maxima about a month ago and it is slowly
    approaching 90k miles. I have been running fine, with a few things that
    bother me ie. transmission, engine lagging at low rpms, etc. I have read
    around and find the 90k service should fix everything wrong. (oil, oil
    filter, air filter, fuel filter every 15k, cleaning of the throttle body,
    trans flush, coolant flush, fuel injectors most probably replaced,
    anything else to add?)

    Well anyway the question is how much did everyone else pay for this
    service? I am a typical broke college student with a parttime job and
    just barely making my bills. Parents don't help me out so I'm all on my
    own. Do you know any auto place that would actually have payment plans?
    hehe Thanks.

    I went from the 60k service to the 120k service. In between, nothing but
    air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, coolant flush as needed. Fuel
    injectors? Haven't heard of doing anything with them on Maximas - you
    probably could remove them and send them out to be cleaned and flow tested,
    but that's overkill on these cars, IMO.

    While it probably would benefit from changing all those fluids, there is no
    reason to go into hock having it all done at once. There is nothing magic
    about 90k on this car. It does not have a timing belt and the rest of it is
    all routine maintenance that should be being done routinely anyway. I
    certainly would not pay a dealer the ridiculous price they charge for
    packaging it all into a single service.

    If it is running smoothly, there is absolutely no reason to mess with the
    injectors.

    If the accelerator pedal sticks the first time you push on it in the
    morning, clean the air intake.

    The plugs should have been changed at 60k. If there are no records to
    indicate it was done, change them now.

    Hi,

    if your saying that the fuel injector was never replace on the maxima,

    it has been replaced before,

    the fuel injector on the third gen has been replace before,
    the third gen is the only gen that i have heard of them replaced,

    I don't know about the 4 or 5 gen ever replacing the fuel injector,

    Thanks for the replies. Someone almost convinced me that I had to do a
    million and one things to maintain my car. Anyway, I have to get aroudn to
    changing the plugs and throttle body. The only thing weird is the auto
    transmission being very jerky between gears 1, 2, and 3. It is
    intermittent and not all the time. Also I hear a low clunk noise each
    time I let off the throttle, and when putting my car from park to drive,
    going into drive gear, it makes a noise very similar if not a gear
    grinding. I'm guessing a transmission flush would do it, but if those are
    telltale signs of the tranny dying, I'd like to replace it while I'm free
    during the summer. Thanks for your replies again.
