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 partici- pating Nissan dealer. See page 12 for more information on Multi-Point Inspections.

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 instructions in
the Owner’s Manual (except all
370Z) . When rotating tires, check for
damage and uneven wear. Replace if
necessary.
Transmission Fluid/Oil,
Differential Oil, Transfer Case
Oil
Visually inspect for signs of leakage at
specified intervals.
If towing a trailer, using a camper or
car-top carrier, or driving on rough or
muddy roads:
●replace the fluid/oil every 30,000
miles or 24 months.
●For vehicles with a CVT transmis-
sion (cube, Murano, Altima, Altima
Coupe, Maxima, Rogue, Sentra
and Versa) , replace the fluid every
60,000 miles or request the dealer
to inspect the fluid deterioration
data using a Consult. If the dete-
rioration data is more than
210000, replace the CVT fluid.
Automatic transmission fluid for 370Z
and NV 1500/2500/3500 is
maintenance-free.
