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 mainte-
nance log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item re-
quires 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
perform maintenance on these items
in order to maintain the warranties
which come with your Nissan. Other
maintenance 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. Subse-
quent replacement of Genuine
Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(Blue) should occur every 75,000
miles (120,000 km) or 5 years which-
ever comes first.

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 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)

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.
