Re: 2005 Titan 30k maintenance - $725?!?

Unless I'm wrong, I thought the fuel filter was mounted inside the gas tank and considered a non-maintenance item.

Also, the coolant should be inspected and depending on your driving style maybe changed at 60,000 miles. Good word of advice, follow Nissan's recommended maintenance schedule per the service manual, NOT the dealer's recommended maintenance schedule. As BAC said, each dealer's definition of the 30K service differs, so you really need to police what they are charging you for. Also, I remember reading that tranny flushes were not advised anymore (deemed unnecessary by Nissan), so at most the tranny service would be $90 (just to replace the fluid + labor). Not to mention, the whole 'Premium oil additive / fuel additive' thing is a complete pile of BS, snake oil, magic beans, whatever you want to call it.

Personally, I would go back and thump the sales manager's head against the desk and challenge them on some of these points. Not your fault, but I think you got royally screwed.
