The following tables show the standard mainte-
nance schedule. Depending upon weather and
atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces,
individual driving habits and vehicle usage, addi-
tional or more frequent maintenance may be re-
quired.Maintenance beyond the last period
on the tables requires similar maintenance.

NOTE:
(1) After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km)
or 60 months.
(5) It is recommended that you use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ration of
50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water may reduce
the life expectancy of the factory fill coolant.
(6) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increased, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such
maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.

9-14Maintenance and schedules

The maintenance intervals shown on the preced-
ing pages are for normal operating conditions. If
the vehicle is mainly operated under severe driv-
ing conditions as shown below, more frequent
maintenance must be performed on the following
items as shown in the table.
SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
●Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles
(8 km) .
● Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles
(16 km) with outside temperatures remain-
ing below freezing. ●
Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go
“rush hour” traffic.
● Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for
long distance, such as police, taxi or door-
to-door delivery use.
● Driving in dusty conditions.
● Driving on rough, muddy or salt spread
roads.
● Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top
carrier.
OIL CHANGE MONITOR
This vehicle is equipped with oil change monitor.
It calculates engine oil and filter change interval
base on driving conditions. Driving in severe con-
ditions will shorten the engine oil and filter
change interval. When the Engine Oil – Service
Due Now warning appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display, the engine oil and filter need to be
replaced.
Maintenance operation: Inspect = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary.
