So, today I took my car to the dealer for my 1st oil change since I bought the car (03 base, 69K) two weeks ago. The dealer recommends new belt which I am getting it done on the 18th. Now, they also suggested that I should do the 60K miles maintenance service since it wasn't done at 60K. Now, my question would be to you, should I do the service maintenance? Dealer wants $399. What are they going to replace/update in this maintenance? I also have 100k mile warranty (paperwork in mail). Should I do the maintenance or just save the money since my car is running pretty nice? thanks

 

I'm in the same kind of position here in central FL. I bought an 04 w/24000 mi. and I need to do the 30k service. But the dealer here is being very cool about the whole thing. The total service is around $400 but since I do all kinds of my own service that's a part of their 30k package, they won't do that for me. And they'll reduce the cost to around $280. I'm having them do the coolant flush/exchange, new belts, and transmission fluid. Plus all the "included inspections."

I do my own oil (Amsoil & Nissan filters) my own brakes, wipers, and K&N air filter.

I haven't checked into the list for the 60k service but it's worth being safe and getting fluids and wear parts done as recommended. See if they won't cut you a break for the things you do yourself.

 

i think the op is asking what is all required in the 60,000 mile maintainence i would also like to know this question.

 

Didnt mention the brake fluid,differential fluid,the plugs should be good.

 

60,000 mile service should be done at 60,000 miles.
What is it? Check your manual.
No manual? Get one at Courtesy Nissan.

 

Find a non-dealer mechanic and have the 60k service done. Period.
