How long do the plantinum plugs on a 97 Max last?
@112K miles
I think I need a tune-up. No, I know I need a tune-up!

What should I expect the Nissan service shop will charge for a Tune-up?

Thanx.

If you got 100,000 miles on your plugs then it is time to replace them, the
cost of a tune up will run up to $400

the spark plugs in your maxima should have been changed at 60,000 miles.

this information is in your owners manual, which by the way most people
don't read for some reason.

it is definitely time to do a tune up , I just hope the original spark plugs
will come out without damaging the threads in the cylinder head or breaking
the spark plug off in the hole


Platinum plugs cost about 13 bucks each and dealerships charge usually 1.0
hours of labor to do the job, so do the math

60K is recommended change interval. There's a good chance they're seized
in there now.

Total BS. NGK recommends you =DO NOT= use antisieze or anything else on
their plugs due to the rolled threads and coating they use. Again I've
NEVER in 25 years 40 hours a week of working on cars seen a seized NGK plug
with nothing put on them, even ones that have been left in for 100,000+
miles.

Maybe with cheapo plugs like autolites you need to put something on them in
hopes they don't sieze up in the head?
