As a condition of your vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your vehicle. In
maintaining your vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed below. Use these
guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.
SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating
conditions) , every 3,750 miles or
3 months, whichever comes first
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
carrier SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operating
conditions) , every 7,500 miles or
6 months, whichever comes first
Schedule 2 features 7,500-mile service inter-
vals; with Schedule 2 fewer maintenance items
are regularly 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 un-
der conditions other than those listed in
Schedule 1.
PREMIUM MAINTENANCE*
Premium Maintenance is a Nissan recom-
mended optional upgrade that adds services
to Schedule 1 and 2 when maintenance is
performed.
Performing the Premium upgrade services may
optimize the performance, durability, reliability,
and resale value of your vehicle. (Premium
Maintenance items are available at every
30,000 miles or 24 month interval.)
* Premium Maintenance is a Nissan-recommended option; You need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the warranties which come with your Nissan.
Premium Maintenance may not be available outside the United States, please inquire of your dealer.
❑ For the ultimate in preventative maintenance, ask your Service Advisor for a complimentary Multi-Point Inspection every time you visit your par-
ticipating Nissan dealer. See page 12 for more information on Multi-Point Inspections.
DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
10

Steering Gear and Linkage, Axle
and Suspension Parts, Drive
Shaft Boots
Check for damage, looseness, and
leakage of oil or grease. Under severe
driving conditions, inspect more fre-
quently.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
7,500 miles according to the instruc-
tions in the Owner’s Manual (except
all 370Z) . When rotating tires, check
for damage and uneven wear. Re-
place if necessary.

specified intervals.
If towing a trailer, using a camper or
car-top carrier, or driving on rough or

30,000 miles or 24 months.
●For vehicles with a CVT transmis-
sion (cube, Murano, Altima, Altima
Coupe, Maxima, Rogue, NV200,
Sentra and Versa) , replace the
fluid every 60,000 miles or request
the dealer to inspect the fluid de-
terioration data using a Consult. If
the deterioration data is more than
210000, replace the CVT fluid.
Automatic transmission fluid for 370Z
and NV 1500/2500/3500 is
maintenance-free.
