Default Schedule maintenance

Is it worth it to go along with the Schedule maintenance program. And does this affect the warranty any

Wouldn't hurt, and it helps when they (Nissan dealership) asks for maintenance records when you need warranty work done...

I just do the 15,000 miles, 30,000 miles, and so on services. As all the other services you can check yourselves. I have a 2004 with 55,000 miles and have no problems with the dealer harrasing me for not doing the other maintinence intervals. And I have had warranty work done on my car with no issues from the dealer. But if, you like to do the other stuff do it.

to maintain your manuf warranty, you need to maintain the vehicle according to their schedule (not the dealer schedule) and it doesn't matter where you get it done given you can prove it was done as scheduled with parts of the same quality as manuf recommended.

Dealer schedules are different from Nissans. If I follow what my dealer's schedule recommended I might as well ride a bike because my car would always be in the shop getting "Maintainence" done. I don't need my doors lubed every 3000 miles.

What about having a CAI installed and going to have service done on my car will the dealership still work on my car?
