Nissan Altima Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Nissan Altima?

Auto maintenance plays a key role in the ongoing condition and reliability of your Nissan Altima. To optimize your car's overall lifespan and to reduce repair needs over the years, you need to follow the Nissan maintenance schedule printed in your car's owner's manual. This schedule provides vehicle-specific recommendations from the manufacturer. Our qualified mechanics are happy to take your auto maintenance chores off of your hands at our Nissan service center. The general Nissan Altima service intervals are listed here, but check the owner's manual for vehicle-specific recommendations.

10,000-Mile Service

When you bring your Nissan Altima to our shop for maintenance care at the 10,000-mile mark, our team will thoroughly inspect many of its systems and components. This begins with a tire rotation and a thorough inspection of air pressure and tread level. An inspection of the brake system's pads, rotors, fluid, lines, and cables will be completed to determine their needs at this time. The wiper fluid, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and engine oil will be assessed to determine if the fluids require a replacement or replenishment. The oil filter, the suspension system, the battery power, the engine air filter, and the transmission fluid in the continuously variable transmission may be reviewed and serviced as well. If you drive an all-wheel drive Altima, this is the time to focus on the differential fluid, the gear oil, the transfer case fluid, and the propeller shaft.

30,000-Mile Service

Additional Nissan Altima maintenance is required at the 30,000-mile reading. These services cover the car's suspension system, the brake fluid and pads, the exhaust system, the drive shaft boots, the axles, and the steering system's gears and linkage.

60,000-Mile Service

Maintenance service recommendations extend to the 60,000-mile odometer reading. The engine's hoses and the vapor system in the fuel tank, and the fuel line should be professionally serviced.

105,000-Mile Service

Another scheduled service is needed when your Altima's odometer reading hits 105,000 miles. These services include a spark plug replacement and a coolant level check.
