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.
Off-Road Maintenance
Check the following items frequently
whenever you drive off-road through
deep sand, mud or water:
●Brake pads and rotors
●Brake linings and drums
●Brake lines and hoses
●Differential, transmission and
transfer case oil
●Steering linkage
●Propeller shaft(s) and front drive
shafts
●Engine air filter
●Clutch housing drain (4WD only)
