Nissan Altima Maintenance Schedule

It's vital to keep your Nissan Altima up to date on its regular recommended preventative maintenance schedule. This will help make sure that your sedan keeps navigating the roads of Cranston, Pawtucket, and East Providence, RI, at peak performance and efficiency.

However, it can be confusing to know what to have done and when. Therefore, our team at Stateline Nissan is proud to provide this information about the manufacturer-recommended Nissan Altima maintenance schedule in order to keep your car at its best for years to come.

A Breakdown: Nissan Altima Maintenance Schedule

Keeping up with your Nissan Altima maintenance schedule is a lot more than having your oil changed every few months. There are a lot of regular preventative services that should be taken care of to not only keep the car running like new, but to stay on top of your warranty requirements as well.

Read this list of recommended services at various mileage increments so you can be sure your car keeps getting you where you need to go.

5,000 Miles/6-Month Mark

Your first maintenance check will happen at the 5,000-mile mark, which for the average driver is about six months into ownership.

At this time, you'll mainly want to focus on inspecting the following areas:

• Horn, lights, signals, wipers, rear hatch/hood lift support
• All fluids inspected (wiper, brake, power steering, coolant)
• Engine drive belts and hose inspections
• Suspension components (shocks, subframe, tie rods)
• Battery terminals and cables, battery test
• Tire pressure, treadwear, and depth

You'll also want to get a tire rotation, so they all wear evenly, and an oil change performed. Continue to get this maintenance done every 5,000 miles for the duration of vehicle ownership.

10,000 Miles/12-Month Mark

Your next visit will happen about a year in, and you'll again want a full inspection of your Altima. In addition to that, it will be time to replace the engine oil and filter again, change the in-cabin microfilter, and check the brake fluid.

50,000-60,000 Miles

Once you reach around 50,000 miles, it's going to be time to think about some replacements. Typically, your brakes will need to be replaced at this time and your tires may need to be replaced as well. Both components are crucial to the health of your vehicle and safety.
