Nissan Altima Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Nissan Altima?

For your Nissan Altima to keep performing at its best and stay in top condition, it will need to have mileage-based service periodically. Some services are performed more frequently, such as oil changes and tire rotations, which start around 5,000 miles. Nissan also recommends specific Nissan Altima service intervals that are outlined in the owner's manual. It's essential to keep up with these services to avoid significant problems and repairs down the road.

10,000-Mile Service

The Nissan Altima maintenance schedule begins at 10,000 miles. The braking system components will be checked, including the brake lines, cables, pads, and rotors. The transmission fluid will be checked if you have an automatic transmission in your vehicle. Cars with all-wheel drive will get their transfer case oil, differential gear oil, and propeller shaft inspected. The drive shaft boots will be inspected, along with all major fluids for the wipers, brakes, cooling system, power steering system, and engine. The drive belts and hoses in the engine will get an evaluation, and the engine's air filter will be inspected to ensure it's not dirty. Your Altima will have its suspension system checked at 10,000 miles, along with the differential and fluid if you have all-wheel drive. A mechanic will test the battery and inspect its cables, too. The tires will be evaluated and rotated. The air filters in Altima's cabin and the engine will be inspected and replaced at this point.

30,000-Mile Service

The next major service mark for your Altima is 30,000 miles. At this checkup, your Altima gets its brake pads and rotors inspected for signs of excess wear. The exhaust system gets an inspection as well, along with the steering gear and linkage. A Nissan mechanic will visually inspect the vehicle's axles and suspension components to check for excessive wear. The drive shaft boots will be evaluated, and the car's brake fluid may be changed at this time.

60,000-Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, your Nissan will have more services performed. The fuel lines and fuel connections are checked at 60,000 miles. The fuel tank will be inspected, too, including the vapor vent system. Hoses are also checked at 60,000 miles to make sure they are not worn or leaking.

105,000-Mile Service

Older vehicles require additional maintenance to make sure their components are all holding up well. More major parts of your Nissan will be checked as the car reaches 105,000 miles, including the engine coolant fluid and the spark plugs.
