I have a 1987 toyota MR2 with almost 230k miles that is all original. Changed the clutch, some oil seals and that is it. In the Toyota world, when your engine finally wears out around 300k miles you clean your old injectors and throw them on the rebuilt motor.
My parents car is a '97 Honda accord, owned since new, with 276k miles on it. They do no maintenance what so every. It was a chore just to get them to buy a new alternator. They change their oil every 7500 miles, they have changed their trans fluid once. They even drove with toasted CV joints for about 6 years. NEVER REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER UNTIL A MONTH AGO. No injector problems.
My first car was a old ford escort. Family owned since new. Ran great till the day it was broad sided. 172k miles. Replaced the fuel filter once, Never did any injector maintenance. Funny thing is I broke a t-belt, while driving. Threw on a new belt. Non-interference motor. Everybody does it except nissan.
I have never used any OEM parts in any of my cars

why did you buy a maxima?
toyota 1MZ, 3MZ, etc are all interference motors.
Honda J30 motors and i believe all their motors (if not most) are interference.
Audi ATW, AWE motors are all interference.
this is first hand knowledge since i've either owned these or family own these cars/motor that i work on.
yup...only nissan
your car...i could care less what you put in it. op complained about reman injectors.
