Default Standard Maintenance at 12K Miles?
I just bought a used 2003 350Z Enthusiast that only had 11K miles. I've since put another 1K on it.

Despite the low miles--given that the car is 6 years old--are the any regular maintenance things I should have done?

Many Thanks,
Aaron

never hurts to check oil level and maybe change it if it wasnt changed before you bought it.

my 06 only had 15K miles... although the mileage was low the car is over 3 years old... I went ahead and DIY-ed the tranny fluid, diff fluid, oil change, and coolant flush..

Go to the Nissan website and click on the "Owners" link. There you'll find a section with the maintenance intervals and the suggested maint.

Definitely coolant but I'd check you brake fluid too. They make test strips for both.
