Trim / Codes

The 2003 Nissan Maxima was the final model year of the fifth generation, carrying over the 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 255 horsepower with minor exterior and interior trim updates. It was offered in GXE, GLE, and SE trims, with a five-speed manual available on the SE and a four-speed automatic as standard elsewhere. Common service considerations include timing chain tensioner rattle on cold starts, oil consumption in higher-mileage examples, and wear items such as suspension bushings, struts, and power steering components. The automatic transmission should be checked for smooth shifting, as fluid condition affects its longevity.
