Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / March 200550,000 service advice
My 2000 GXE Maxima is approaching 50,000 miles Thus far I've changed oil every 3000 miles, tire rotation here and there, and had the 5-speed manual tranmission flushed at 36k. Anything I should have done at 5 years, 50,000 miles? It did idle out a few times this past winter, but only on the very cold days. > My 2000 GXE Maxima is approaching 50,000 miles > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Anything I should have done at 5 years, 50,000 miles?

Replace the fuel filter a dirty filter puts a high pressure demand on the fuel pump and will cause the pump to fail. > > My 2000 GXE Maxima is approaching 50,000 miles > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Replace the fuel filter a dirty filter puts a high pressure demand on the > fuel pump and will cause the pump to fail. I just had my 2000 SE in for the 60K at the dealer and the service advisor said that the fuel pump was located in the gas tank and does not get replaced...he said they test the pressure and if it appears to be lacking the entire assembly must be replaced (filter and pump if I recall). Does this sound correct regarding replacing the fuel filter?

This could be correct my 89&98 Maxima had their filters located on dash but I have been told that many later autos now have them with pump in fuel tank. >>>>>My 2000 GXE Maxima is approaching 50,000 miles >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > This could be correct my 89&98 Maxima had their filters located on dash but I > have been told that many later autos now have them with pump in fuel tank. Yes, the 2000 Maxima and onwards supposedly eliminated the feul filter maintenance. With 99s and below, the feul filter was a separaete item sitting in the engine bay. For the 2000s, the feul filter is in the tank with the pump and not as easily serviceable as before, if at all. What I hope they must have done on the 2000+ Maximas, then, it so make the feul filter very big such that it's maintenance interval is right around the same time as the life of the pump. If one goes bad, then the other is close to dying too, so replace both since they're in the same place. CD Check out courtesynissan.com and buy the belts and hoses... The coolant is good to do as well. Also, power flush the brake fluid. > My 2000 GXE Maxima is approaching 50,000 miles > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Anything I should have done at 5 years, 50,000 miles?

I've owned my 91 for 10 years and 150,000+ miles and NEVER messed with the brake fluid.

You can use the opportunity to catch up on stuff you should have done previously if you fell like it needs something. Take out the service schedule in your owner's manual and see what it says. |
