every how many miles should I change the brake pads for my 2002 Nissan xterra?

That's an odd question. You change the pads when they need changing. That amount of time will vary with driving and braking habits. I had an Isuzu Rodeo I bought new in 1995. It didn't need new pads for 16 years (190k miles). Nobody believes me when I tell that story.

Just check the pad thickness through the cut out on the caliper next time you have the wheel off.

I just ordered some AKEBONO front pads for mine, highly recommend as I put them on just about every vehicle I've had.
