Nissan Altima Maintenance Schedule

The Nissan Altima is an athletic model that has the durability to last for many years. It is important, however, to make sure you're keeping up with routine maintenance. An easy way to understand what your Altima needs is by reading through this informative Nissan Altima maintenance schedule. In this article, we'll go over required maintenance needs and inspections based on the mileage of your vehicle.

Every 5,000 Miles or 6 Months

As mentioned previously, each section will be broken up by estimated miles or duration of time. In addition to this, services and repairs will only be listed once.

So, if you see an oil change in this section, for instance, it means you'll need to change your oil every 5,000 miles, even if you don't see this particular service pop up again in later sections.

With that said, after 5,000 miles, your Nissan Altima won't need much work. An oil change and tire rotation will suffice. If another aspect of your vehicle seems out of sorts, though, it is worth mentioning to your technician.

 

Every 10,000 Miles or 12 Months

After 10,000 miles or one year, your Altima will need a quick inspection on a variety of different components. The list below details which aspects of your vehicle should be looked at: 

• Automatic transmission
• Brake lines and cables
• Brake pads, rotors, drums, and linings
• CVT fluid
• Differential oil
• Drive shaft boots
• Manual transmission oil
• Propeller shaft
• Transfer case oil

Every 15,000 Miles or 18 Months

As the miles begin to rack up and you reach 15,000 miles in total, a quick inspection is all that's needed. The only two features that will get special attention on this visit will be your in-cabin microfilter and the Nissan Intelligent Key? battery.

Every 30,000 Miles or 36 Months

A quick jump up to 30,000 miles, or roughly three years, means it's time for another detailed inspection to ensure each component is running properly and avoiding excessive wear and tear. First, the engine air filter and CVT fluid will need to be replaced.

Along with these two replacements, you'll also have each piece listed in the 15,000-mile inspection looked at once again.

Every 120,000 Miles or 144 Months

If you follow this 15,000-mile layout, you likely won't need any new inspections or replacements until you reach 120,000 miles or roughly 144 months. At this stage, your Nissan Altima has gone through quite the journey and the list below will give you an idea of what should be replaced at this time:

• Replace spark plugs
• Replace brake fluid
• Replace engine mounting insulator
• Replace manual transmission oil
• Replace transfer case oil
• Inspect drive shaft boots
• Inspect engine drive belts
• Inspect exhaust system
• Inspect front suspension ball joints
