Now this is a bit scary! Our 2009 SV Premium has only 12,000 kilometres on it (garaged every winter) and my service manager has told me twice that the CVT fluid should never be changed! Might be...

Just took our '09 Maxima SV Premium out of storage (it only has 10,000 no salt kilometres on it) and in truth, I'm not really looking forward to any more long trips as the road noise is exhausting. ...

I have about 3000 miles on my 2009 Maxima SV with Premium and Tech packages (no winters, 2008 Pathfinder for that) and will it will be back on the road on May 1. But I gotta get rid of the RS-A's. ...

Goodyear RSAs on a 2009 Maxima with 5000 km. Just came back from 8 hours (first long trip) on the 416-401 between Ottawa and London and am just about deaf. No point in having a radio in the car...

2010MaxSV,

Just got my 2009 out of winter storage (2000 miles on it, looks identical to yours, which is to say gorgeous) but I was reminded that the Bose is just awful. We only drove it a bit...

Glad to hear that others have had the same "hot" smell. About to take the Maxima out of winter storage and I remember last fall that if I ran it up a little harder through the "gears", I got the...

Up for the Winter

Mreim, you might be surprised how common a practice it is to put up a car for the winter here. Ottawa is the freezing rain capital of Canada. We don't get the Chinooks you guys do and they just pour...

I think our Maxima is going to spend winter in the garage. Ottawa is just too brutal. On our '08 Pathfinder (Nokian Hak 10s on steel wheels), I just lived with this little goofy light off in the...

While it is too bad that we are limited to 2Gb cards, that's still a lot of music and they are cheaper to boot. Now, if we could use the big, high speed CF cards that photographers use....naw, I...

Oil options

I'm letting everything in the engine "seat" properly in the higher friction regular oil until the third oil change at which time I will go to full synthetic. Worked on my Saab 900 (had 330,000 klics...

Rawbutt, you have nailed it exactly. I too like the Maxima but I'm not really warming up to it as quickly as some of our co-owners appear to be. We clocked a lot of test drive miles and bought it...

I would have to agree with those who do not like the Goodyears. Mine are very noisy and somehow feel a bit "detached". Maybe the Michelins are the answer but the suspension was probably designed...

Trip this weekend took us into some small, twisty lanes in Western part of Toronto. Heavy tree cover, lots of quick turns and even down in to ravines. Nav never missed a beat. I would have spent a...

Just finished our first long trip in the Maxima (500 klics each way) and the CVT still leaves me scratching my head a bit. From launch it seems to take a second for the trans to decide what it wants...

In most of Canada, the highest you will find is 91 AKI. Sunoco makes a 94 but it contains at least 10% ethanol. Shell, Petro Canada, Esso - all their 91s are straight gasoline, no ethanol. Here in...

That would be the answer to Nav/Audio problems that are just annoying enough. Just a switch (bet it's just a software upgrade) to cure a lot of ills. If Dinan can get 84hp more out of a335i by...
