DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
PREMIUM MAINTENANCE* (Every
3,750 miles or 3 months, whichev-
er comes first)
Premium Maintenance is a Nissan-
recommended option that is suitable
for all
driving habits and local
conditions. Nissan developed
Premium Maintenance for owners who
want the ultimate in preventative
maintenance. With Premium
Maintenance, more
maintenance items
are regularly checked or replaced than
with either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2
maintenance schedules.
Using the Premium Maintenance
schedule may optimize the
performance,reliability, and resale
value of your vehicle.
Depending on your driving habits and local conditions, you should follow one of the three maintenance
schedules listed below. Use these guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use:
SCHEDULE 1 (Every 3,750 miles or
3 months, whichever comes first)
Schedule 1 features the same 3,750-mile
service intervals as Premium
Maintenance; however, with Schedule 1
fewer
maintenance items are regularly
checked or replaced than with the
Premium Maintenance schedule. Use
Schedule 1 if you primarily operate your
vehicle under any of these conditions:
●Repeated short trips of less than 5
miles in normal temperatures or less than
10 miles in freezing temperatures
●Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or
low-speed driving for long distances
●Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,
muddy, or salt-spread roads
●Towing a trailer, or using a camper
or car-top carrierSCHEDULE 2 (Every 7,500
miles or 6 months, whichever
comes first)
Schedule 2 features 7,500-mile
service intervals; with Schedule 2
fewer
maintenance items are regu-
larly checked or replaced than with
Schedule 1.
Generally, Schedule 2 applies only
to highway driving in temperate
conditions. Use Schedule 2 only if
you primarily operate your vehicle
under conditions other than those
listed in Schedule 1.
*Premium Maintenance is a Nissan-recommended
option; however, owners need not perform such
maintenance in order to maintain the warranties
which come with their Nissan.
Premium Maintenance may not be available outside
the United States, please inquire of your dealer.
