I should probably know better, but I admit, I haven't paid much attention to my maintenance schedule. I have had my MO for pretty much exactly 1 year and have about 18,500 miles.
I have had oil/oil filter changed every ~3,750 miles at Big O. I also have my tires rotated every other oil change.
Are there any other "maintenances" I should have done (missed) or should do?
Thanks |

krush40-
Don't sweat it, you didn't miss anything critical.
The oil is the most important maintenance item, and you took care of that.
The only thing I would look at is the cabin air filter. Nissan recommends you change it once a year or every 15,000 miles. I assume the guys at Big O are checking your engine air filter. If not, it would be prudent to inspect that as well.

Good, I'm thinkin about getting a K&N air filter so I don't have to worry about that. Don't think I want to go the whole intake route, just the air filter. Doubt there will be any performance upgrade but the million mile warrranty will allow me to not have to worry about changing it.
Are there any things I should get prepaired for in the next few thousand miles. I think the little maintenance book said 30,000 was the first "big" checkup. How long do the OEM brakes usually last? |

You do realize the million-mile warranty does not mean the air filter can go unchecked for 1,000,000 miles, right? It still needs to be taken out, cleaned, and re-oiled on a periodic basis.

Ya, sorry. I should have been more descriptive. I have the little "tune up kit" which I used on my last car. I forget how many miles it's supposed to last between cleanings, but if I remember correctly it was quite a few. |

Don't forget to check your tire's air pressure, especially as it gets colder.

| If the battery is NOT maintenance free, you need to check the water level and add as necessary. |

No kidding - it's around 20° where I live too!.....oh, we're in the same area. :rolleyes:
The temperature change here does have a big impact on tire pressure and mileage. I checked my tire pressure last week and it was about 27-28 psi all around. |

Yeah, I never noticed my tires getting low during "winter" in Texas...
Colorado, different story. My TPMS light popped up as soon as the thermometer dropped into the 20s. It was reading 26 psi all around when I stopped in at the air pump.
Thank you technology.:D |

Careful Biggun, I've noticed that generally you lose about 1 pound for every 10° F.
Be sure you check your tires cold. |
