Maintain Your InvestmentPreventative scheduled maintenance is an important investment to
optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of
your Nissan. Scheduling your vehicle’s maintenance at the
recommended intervals will ensure your vehicle is running at its best.
We want you to enjoy your Nissan vehicle. This Service and
Maintenance Guide is designed to help you make sure your vehicle
receives proper and timely maintenance that is necessary. Key services
are explained in detail, along with an outline of scheduled maintenance
to help you maintain your vehicle. Your local Nissan dealer can assist
you in determining the best schedule based on your driving habits and
local conditions.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance may result in excluding
portions of your vehicle from warranty coverage and may reduce the
performance, safety, reliability, durability and/or resale value of your
vehicle. See your Warranty Information Booklet and Owner’s Manual for
details.
NISSAN MAINTENANCE
3

As a condition of your vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your vehicle. In
maintaining your vehicle, you should use these guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to
use.
Standard maintenance;features 5,000 mile or 6 month, whichever
comes first, service intervals and generally applies when you primarily oper-
ate your vehicle on the highway in temperate conditions. Premium mainte-
nance is a Nissan recommended optional upgrade that adds services when
maintenance is performed.
Exceptions: 1. Use of E85 in a Titan or Armada FFV (flex fuel vehicle) requires engine oil and filter replacement every 3,750 miles or 3 months.
2. NV200 Taxi requires engine oil and filter replacement every 3,750 miles or 3 months.
Premium Maintenance;
*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
36 months interval.) Additional maintenance items for severe operating conditions;
should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding
conditions. Additional maintenance items should be performed if you primar-
ily operate your vehicle under the following 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
❑ For the ultimate in preventative maintenance, ask your Service Advisor for a complimentary Multi-Point Inspection every time you visit your
participating Nissan dealer. See page 16 for more information on Multi-Point Inspections.
* 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.
DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
10

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.

NOTE: Mixing any other type of cool-
ant or the use of non-distilled water
will reduce the recommended service
interval of the coolant.
