Has anyone noticed that the first coolant change is at 120K? At least on my '02 it is. I come from the old school of oil changes at 3K and major service every 30K. The last car I bought was a '99 Maxima and the first coolant change is at 60K and every 30K thereafter. I can accept that since now there are long life coolants and on a new engine and cooling system, the coolant will probably last longer. But 120K for the first and every 60K thereafter?!? That just boggles my rational thinking. I mean, even the timing belt gets replaced at 105K and typically the coolant has to be drained to do that. The manual says to inspect the water pump when doing the timing belt change, I'd say most people/reputable shops would change the water pump as preventative maintenance since everything is in reach at one time. Granted, even though it'll be quite some time before I have to worry about it, I'm just curious as to what everyone else thinks.
