Answer
Orland,

Your car has a timing chain and it does not require service at a specific number of miles.  If the waterpump fails it is just a matter of replacement.  You will know if the car has a defective waterpump antifreeze will get in your oil and the car will overheat.  So, just keep an eye on the oil and the temperature.  My 2000 Maxima has 133,000 miles and is still doing well.
