#10 of 707 timing belt? by afty Nov 16, 2001 (8:23 am)
I'm pretty sure that the '95 Maxima uses a timing chain, not a belt. Not sure what the replacement schedule on that is, but it should last significantly longer than a timing belt.
#11 of 707 if a chain by gsleve Nov 18, 2001 (6:23 pm)
replacement is in the 200,000 mil if not more if it is a belt the price being quoted is pretty good given its a v6.
#12 of 707 i concur mrdetailer by gsleve Nov 18, 2001 (6:26 pm)
no maxima is shot a 100k only if there was serious neglect these motors are rock solid have been considered as one of the most revered v6 motors in the industry well known for reliabilty and longevity get another opinion and fast seems dealer is pulling a fast one
#13 of 707 Larger Oil Filter by gtownguy Nov 28, 2001 (6:52 am)
Hello everyone, I have a 2000 Maxima SE. I noticed the small oil filter, (#15208 9e000) and am wondering if a larger oil filter will work. My other car is also a nissan 3.0v6 and its filter is larger and seems line up the same. Does anyone know if this can be done and/or what the nissan part # is??. Thanks, Tom.
#14 of 707 Chain vs Belt by maxse89 Feb 20, 2002 (7:37 am)
Well all to let you know I am a 89 SE Maxima owner and running with 153000 miles. Wished I had waited to purchase the '93 SE when they went to the chain drive system. It needs no replacement, as it is self lubricated and with regular oil changes should never give you any problems. I am about to change my belt for the second time but other than that, MAKE MINE A MAXIMA.
#15 of 707 30K service by mwatermasysk Jul 12, 2002 (7:31 am)
I have a 2000 SE and need to have my 30K mile service done. What should I expect to pay for this? I priced two dealers and both are pushing $500...this seems high to me. They are telling me they will give the car a tune up etc. Does a brand new car need a tune up at 30K miles??? Isn't that why I bought a Nissan?   Any info can be posted or send to mwatermasyskyahoo.com   Thanks to all who reply!
#16 of 707 30K by mirth Jul 12, 2002 (11:34 am)
Every 30K miles is pretty standard for tune-ups. Unfortunately, dealers are ridiculous when it comes to pricing a tune-up. I mean, for most of the items it's just a matter of the tech glancing at it to confirm it's okay.   Basically, it needs to be done. Your only options are to either try another dealer or find an independant shop.
#17 of 707 Northern, Central NJ or NYC: Reputable Svc Department at Nissan Dealership? by sglator Aug 17, 2002 (5:44 am)

#18 of 707 Philly area dealers by smankow Sep 05, 2002 (4:46 am)
I have had my 2000 SE w/5 speed to 2 different dealerships in the Philadelphia area - Montgomeryville (where I purchased the car) and Thompson. Montgomeryville is the worst. Their service manager can look you in the face and tell you a lie, even knowing that you know its a lie. I went to Thompson, who discovered that service bulletins that described my problems were not used by Montgomeryville and performed numerous repairs (ignition coils, 1 strut, 2 steering racks, back then front brakes). Now I caught their service manager in a lie and potential fraud. They told me that they "cross rotated" my tires because of a pulling after a regular rotation and state inspection. The repair order stated this, as well. Upon inspection, they undid the rotation that I paid for in the 37500 service.   Also, has anyone ever had a Nissan dealership actually be able to replicate a problem?   Steve
#19 of 707 Dealer said "Replace Belt"...I smelt something fishy by rcmax Sep 28, 2002 (3:35 pm)
I have a 97'Maxima GXE with 75000 miles on it. I took it to the dealer as Nissan issued a recall on 97-98 Maximas for potential problem with the alternator.   While waiting for the alernator to be replaced, the technician comes to me and says "Sir, the belt needs replacement as its quite cracked up. We will do it $90 instead of the usual $120 because we have already removed the alternator, replacing the belt will be easier." The alternator replacement was free for me as it was a manufacturer recall. But somehow I was not convinced of the "new" cracked belt problem the dealer discovered. I felt he just wanted to make an extra $90 for a lark. Ofcourse I did not get the belt changed.   I still don't know if by "belt" he meant the timing belt or alternator belt. If its the alternator belt, has anyone of you had to replace it and if so after how many miles?   I will appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.
