Page 13 of 70

The following descriptions are pro-
vided to give you a better understand-
ing of the scheduled maintenance
items that should be regularly checked
or replaced. The maintenance log indi-
cates at which mileage/time intervals
each item requires service.
In addition to scheduled mainte-
nance, your Nissan requires that
some items be checked during nor-
mal day-to-day operation. You can
find these items listed under “General
Maintenance” in Chapter 8 of your
Owner’s Manual.
Items marked with“*”are recom-
mended by Nissan for reliable vehicle
operation. You are not required to per-
form maintenance on these items in
order to maintain the warranties which
come with your Nissan. Other mainte-
nance items and intervals are required.
When applicable, additional informa-
tion can be found in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section in Chapter
8 of your Owner’s Manual. NOTE: Nissan does not advocate the
use of non-OEM approved aftermar-
ket flushing systems and strongly ad-
vises against performing these ser-
vices on a Nissan product. Many of
the aftermarket flushing systems use
non-OEM approved chemicals or sol-
vents, the use of which has not been
validated by Nissan.
For recommended fuel, lubricants,
fluids, grease, and refrigerant, refer to
Chapter 9 in your Owner’s Manual.
Emission Control System
Maintenance:
Drive Belts*
Check engine drive belts for wear,
fraying or cracking and for proper ten-
sion. Replace any damaged drive
belts.
Engine Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. When
driving for prolonged periods in dusty
conditions, check/replace the filter
more frequently.Engine Coolant*
Replace coolant at the specified in-
terval. When adding or replacing
coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(Blue) or equivalent with the proper
mixture. (Refer to the Owner’s Manual
to determine the proper mixture for
your area.) The recommended ser-
vice interval of the factory-fill coolant
is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or
7 years, whichever comes first.
Subsequent replacement of Genuine
Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(Blue) should occur every
75,000 miles (120,000 km) or
5 years whichever comes first.
NOTE: Mixing any other type of cool-
ant or the use of non-distilled water
will reduce the recommended service
interval of the coolant.

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 150,000 miles / 180 months. Beginning on page 58 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.
NOTE:
1.If using E85 in a Titan or Armada FFV (flex fuel vehicle) , a special oil and filter change log can be found
beginning of page 62.
2. For the NV200 Taxi, a special oil and filter change log can found beginning on page 62.
3. If you exceed the 150,000 miles or 180 month maintenance period, at 155,000 miles or 186 months,
perform maintenance listed at 5,000 mile or 6 month interval, at 160,000 or 194 months use the
10,000 mile or 12 month interval and continue as needed.

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.
