The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2018 Nissan Maxima is built around this exact year, engine and trim lineup, so the specs and procedures inside are the ones Nissan published for the 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE) under your hood rather than a generic stand-in.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Advance
  • Exclusive
  • Platinum
  • S
  • SL
  • SR
  • SV

Known issues on the 2018 Maxima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the back-up camera and display: settings can be adjusted so the rear view image no longer shows and the system holds that setting the next time the vehicle is put in reverse, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the ABS actuator pump: it may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board, and a resulting electrical short raises the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 36 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a back-up camera fault to inspecting the ABS actuator or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct spec for your specific 2018 Maxima.
