What he quoted is the same as what's printed in my manual. They show three maintenance schedules. One is called "premium maintenance" and that is what is shown above by Oly. Schedules 1 & 2 both show "oil and filter" at 30k. Looking through the book...1 & 2 really aren't that much different although 1 uses the 3,750 mile oil change interval and has more inspections listed.smj999smj wrote:Oly, is this guide from the manufacturer
Also sounds like marketing on behalf of the dealers. Not a lot of money to be made servicing vehicles from the "normal" schedules. Probably why their prices seem to be astronomical for routine stuff. Quoted $150 for drain/fill of transmission fluid (a couple years ago)....same service on wifes Acura MDX (today) is $75. For $75 I'll let the dealer do it as it's not worth dragging out the tools and such after buying fluids. $150....I just won't pay it because it's wrong!!smj999smj wrote:What I listed came from ALLDATA for a 2011 Pathfinder, which is supposed to come from the manufacturer (of course, ALLDATA is far from perfect). That said, the "premium maintenance" sounds like overkill to me!
