How Often Should I Service My Nissan Altima?

Auto maintenance is an essential part of owning a Nissan. When you follow the Nissan Altima maintenance schedule, you can enjoy all of the benefits of a well-maintained vehicle over the years. These range from optimized longevity and superior value to minimized repairs and more. Are you wondering which services are due soon and what the Nissan Altima service intervals are? This general guideline for the Altima line is a great reference, but you should follow your owner's manual schedule for specific guidelines on your Altima's trim level and model year.

10,000-Mile Service

When your Altima's odometer reads 10,000 miles, multiple systems should be inspected and serviced by our team of technicians. This includes the tires, which should be rotated, inspected for tread wear, and checked for optimal air pressure. The cables, lines, pads, fluid, and rotors in your Altima's braking system also should be reviewed. Various fluid levels in the Altima may need to be topped off or replaced, and these are the engine oil, the wiper fluid, the power steering fluid, and the coolant. Other areas that require professional attention are the battery power, the suspension system, the oil filter, the CVT's transmission fluid, and the engine air filter. The all-wheel drive versions of the Altima need service on the propeller shaft, the differential fluid, the transfer case fluid, and the gear oil.

30,000-Mile Service

Several systems and components require attention when the Altima's odometer reads 30,000 miles. These include the steering system's gears and linkage, the suspension system, the axles, the drive shaft boots, the exhaust system, and the braking system's fluid and pads.

60,000-Mile Service

A few critical services are necessary when the Altima's odometer reaches 60,000 miles. These are an inspection and service on the fuel line, the car's hoses, and the fuel tank's vapor system.

105,000-Mile Service

The Nissan Altima is engineered to continue to be reliable after the 105,000-mile mark when it is properly maintained. At this point, the Altima's coolant level should be checked and adjusted, and the spark plugs need to be replaced.
