NISSAN MAINTENANCE
Maintain Your Investment
Preventative scheduled maintenance is an important investment to

optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of
your Nissan. Scheduling your vehicle’s maintenance at the
recommended intervals will ensure your vehicle is running at its best.
We want you to enjoy your Nissan vehicle. This Service and
Maintenance Guide is designed to help you make sure your vehicle
receives proper and timely maintenance that is necessary. Key services
are explained in detail, along with an outline of scheduled maintenance
to help you maintain your vehicle. Your local Nissan dealer can assist
you in determining the best schedule based on your driving habits and
local conditions.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance may result in excluding
portions of your vehicle from warranty coverage and may reduce the
performance, safety, reliability, durability and/or resale value of your
vehicle. See your Warranty Information Booklet and Owner’s Manual for
details.

Parts. As a result, non-genuine parts may not look or fit
right, and may be less safe.
The hood on your vehicle is a good example. Nissan
designed it with hood buckling creases to help prevent the
hood from penetrating the interior of your vehicle in an
accident. Non-genuine parts may not provide such built-in
safeguards.
In some states, the law says you must be advised if
non-genuine parts are used to repair your vehicle. Why
should you take a chance?

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following Maintenance Schedule has been compiled by Nissan to

assist you in performing the recommended maintenance services and
keeping appropriate records of services performed. Along with the
related repair invoices, receipts, and other such records, a properly
documented maintenance history could enhance the value of your
vehicle should you ever wish to sell it. The services listed represent the
minimal Nissan recommended requirements for each time/mileage
interval, up to 120,000 miles / 96 months. Beginning on page 52 you
will find a log that should be used to track when and where services
were performed. Ask your Service Advisor to update your log each time
your vehicle is serviced.
13
COMPLIMENTARY MULTI-POINT INSPECTION*
For the ultimate in preventative maintenance, ask your
Service Advisor for a complimentary Multi-Point Inspec-
tion every time you visit your participating Nissan dealer.
MPI’s are performed by Nissan factory trained Techni-
cians who will provide you with a detailed report of your
vehicle’s condition.
Driving your Nissan should be as worry-free an experience
as possible. Trust your Nissan dealership to inspect and

maintain your vehicle so you can take pride in knowing
your vehicle is ready for the road ahead.

GENUINE NISSAN PARTS YOU CAN RELY ON
Genuine Nissan Oil Filters

Genuine Nissan Oil Filters are designed specifically for
your vehicle.
Genuine Nissan Oil Filters have an anti-drainback valve
that keeps oil in the filter when the engine is not running.
This prevents harmful engine wear on start-up.
16
❑ Replace engine oil and filter 1 ❑ Replace engine oil and filter
❑ Rotate tires (except all 370Z) ❑ Rotate tires (except all 370Z)1

Equipment varies by model. Perform only those operations that apply to your vehicle. 17
Wiper Blades
Genuine Nissan Wiper Blades and Arms are designed
to fit your Nissan and can be installed by any Nissan
dealer in just minutes.
18
In-Cabin Microfilter
The In-Cabin Microfilter filters the air you breathe in your
vehicle. This system filters both outside and recirculated
air used by the air conditioning system in your vehicle.
Replacing the Microfilter every year or 15,000 miles is
the best way to help prevent road dust, pollen and other
air pollutants from entering the interior of your vehicle

and the air you breathe. If your vehicle is not equipped
with an In-Cabin Microfilter system – see your Nissan
dealer about getting one installed – you’ll breathe easier.

Your Nissan Dealer is Your Complete Source

for Tires
● Original Equipment Tires and Other Major Brands
● Competitive Pricing
● Road Hazard Protection Included With Each Tire**
● Convenience
● Factory Trained Technicians
Tires are an important component of your Nissan driving
experience. They provide the four points of contact be-
tween your vehicle and the road and affect acceleration,
braking, cornering, load-carrying capacity, and overall
handling and performance.
Nissan engineers perform extensive tests to help deter-
mine which tires are best suited for use on Nissan ve-
hicles. Replacing the tires on your Nissan with those that
meet the Original Equipment specifications will help maxi-
mize your vehicle’s handling, comfort and safety.
