Nissan Altima Service Intervals

Nissan Altima Maintenance Schedule

No one likes the thought of servicing or repairing their vehicle. It is a necessary evil we must endure as car owners. Unfortunately, the more you drive your car, the more your car will be affected. By servicing your Nissan Altima at regular service intervals, most long-term problems can be avoided until higher mileage can be accumulated.

How Often Should I Service My Nissan Altima?

It depends on how often you drive your Nissan Altima. Some drivers go 500 miles per month, and others go 3,000 miles per month. The only advice I can offer is that you follow the guidelines of the owner's manual. The more often you drive your Nissan Altima, the more often things will need to be serviced or replaced.

10,000 Mile Service Inspection checkpoints

At 10,000 miles, your Nissan Altima will need a variety of inspections and services. These include a detailed inspection of the brake lines and cables, brake pads and rotors, and CVT transmission fluid. Other components of the vehicle such as the horn, lights, signals, wipers, and rear hatch/hood lift should be inspected as well. Essential fluids like the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, wiper fluid will need replacing and replenishment. If your Altima is equipped with an all-wheel drive drivetrain, it will require unique services focused on the propeller shaft, the differential gear oil, the differential fluid, and the transfer case oil.

It is beneficial for the Nissan Altima maintenance schedule to include all major servicing at the suggested intervals. It is also helpful to check the fluid levels and gauges daily to ensure the car is running properly.

30,000 Miles service

Once your Altima reaches 30,000 miles, additional inspections are required. Replacing brake fluid is essential at this milestone. The rotors, the drive shaft boots, the brake pads, the exhaust system, the suspension system, the axles, and the linkage and gears for the steering system will also need attention from our certified Nissan technicians to keep your Altima running smoothly.

60,000 Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, the fuel lines, hoses, and fuel tank vapor system will need to be addressed by our service experts. These services are vital to maintaining your Altima in its proper working condition.

105,000 Mile Service

Recommended maintenance service is needed when your Nissan Altima's odometer reads 105,000 miles. These services include replacement or replenishment of the engine coolant and the installation of new spark plugs.

Many of these items may seem insignificant, but any of these items can create serious car problems. The better maintenance and service you provide for your car, the better and longer it will run. The more frequent you service your car, the less likely it will be for unexpected breakdowns. Don't get stranded on the side of the road because of car failure. Keep your Nissan Altima running for as long as possible with professional service and maintenance at Midway Nissan.
