The two nissan dealers near me offer slightly different services at 60K. I
would suggest getting the service menu from your local dealer. IIRC, your
owners manual also lists a general guideline as to what should be done.

That said, the plat plugs are not necessary at 60K. Nissan may suggest an
induction service in addition to what you have done. They also will inspect
all systems and lubricate the chassis

What year Maxima do you have?

Regardless of that info, at 60k it would be worthwhile to change the
belt (both accessory and power-steering), fuel filter, PCV valve,
rotate tires, if you have a 95-99 Maxima, also change the plugs (use
NGK platinums, every 60k).

Other things things to inspect:
- Brakes
- Tires
- CV boots
- Tie-rod ends/steering boots
- If you battery is more than 5 yrs old, pop in a new battery (This is
just preventative maintenance IMO).


- Alignment (if the tires are wearing unevenly)

I think the 2k+ Maximas have a spark-plug change interval of 100k - so
you should be fine in that respect.

and the fuel filter is listed as a "non-serviceable" item by Nissan.

Naxray, you are correct in that the 5th Gen fuel filters are
"non-serviceable", but it can still be replaced (although that may be
unnecessary). My comments really apply to the 4th Gen where the fuel
filter is located along the firewall in the engine bay.

Cheers,
Nirav
