Maintain Your Investment
Preventative scheduled maintenance is an important investment to
optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of
your Nissan. Scheduling your vehicles maintenance at the
recommended intervals will ensure your vehicle is running at its best.
We want you to enjoy your Nissan vehicle. This Service and
Maintenance Guide is designed to help you make sure your vehicle
receives proper and timely maintenance that is necessary. Key services
are explained in detail, along with an outline of scheduled maintenance
to help you maintain your vehicle. Your local Nissan dealer can assist
you in determining the best schedule based on your driving habits and
local conditions.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance may result in excluding
portions of your vehicle from warranty coverage and may reduce the
performance, safety, reliability, durability and/or resale value of your
vehicle. See your Warranty Information Booklet and Owners Manual for
details.

EXTENDED PROTECTION PLANS
Did you know you can drive your new Nissan for the next
8 years or 120,000 miles, almost worry-free of unex-
pected repair costs?

liver peace of mind by providing component coverage (up

car benefits. Additionally, Security+Plus plans offer Na-
tionwide Coverage (over 1,000 Nissan dealers); use

factured), employ factory-trained technicians, and protect

chased any time within your vehicles original
3-year/36,000-mile new vehicle basic limited warranty

eters, Pre-Owned vehicle service contracts can be pur-
chased anytime with the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain

If you have an accident, insist on Genuine Nissan Collision
Parts. If you want your vehicle to be restored using parts
made to Nissans original exacting specifications if you
want it to last, help to protect your personal safety and to
help hold its resale value, the solution is simple. Tell your
insurance agent and your repair shop to use only Genuine
Nissan Collision Parts.
Many non-genuine parts are copies made from impres-
sions of Nissan parts and may not match the specifica-
tions and performance standards of Genuine Nissan
Parts. As a result, non-genuine parts may not look or fit
right, and may be less safe.
The hood on your vehicle is a good example. Nissan
designed it with hood buckling creases to help prevent the
hood from penetrating the interior of your vehicle in an
accident. Non-genuine parts may not provide such built-in
safeguards.
In some states, the law says you must be advised if
non-genuine parts are used to repair your vehicle. Why
should you take a chance?
Replacement Panel Limited Lifetime
Corrosion Warranty*
If you have your collision damage repaired using Genuine
Nissan Outer Sheet Metal Panels you dont have to worry
about corrosion. Thats because these panels are war-
ranted against inside out rust-through perforation for as
long as you own your Nissan. Another reason to insist on
Genuine Nissan Collision Repair Parts.
* This warranty does not apply to vehicles or parts not distributed by Nissan North America and/or sold outside the United States.

As a condition of your vehicles warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your vehicle. In
maintaining your vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed below. Use these
guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.
SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating
conditions), every 3,750 miles or
3 months, whichever comes first
Use Schedule 1 if you primarily operate your
vehicle under any of these conditions:
Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in
normal temperatures or less than 10 miles in
freezing temperatures
Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low
speed driving for long distances
Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,
muddy, or salt-spread roads
Towing a trailer, or using a camper or car-top
carrier
SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operating
conditions), every 7,500 miles or
6 months, whichever comes first
Schedule 2 features 7,500-mile service inter-
vals; with Schedule 2 fewer maintenance items
are regularly checked or replaced than with
Schedule 1.
Generally, Schedule 2 applies only to highway
driving in temperate conditions. Use Schedule
2 only if you primarily operate your vehicle un-
der conditions other than those listed in
Schedule 1.
PREMIUM MAINTENANCE
*
Premium Maintenance is a Nissan recom-
mended optional upgrade that adds services
to Schedule 1 and 2 when maintenance is
performed.
Performing the Premium upgrade services may
optimize the performance, durability, reliability,
and resale value of your vehicle. (Premium
Maintenance items are available at every
30,000 miles or 24 month interval.)
* Premium Maintenance is a Nissan-recommended option; You need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the warranties which come with your Nissan.
Premium Maintenance may not be available outside the United States, please inquire of your dealer.
For the ultimate in preventative maintenance, ask your Service Advisor for a complimentary Multi-Point Inspection every time you visit your par-
ticipating Nissan dealer. See page 12 for more information on Multi-Point Inspections.
DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
10
The following descriptions are pro-
vided to give you a better understand-
ing of the scheduled maintenance
items that should be regularly
checked or replaced. The mainte-
nance log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item re-
quires service.
In addition to scheduled mainte-
nance, your Nissan requires that
some items be checked during nor-
mal day-to-day operation. You can
find these items listed under General
Maintenance in Chapter 8 of your
Owners Manual.
Items marked with * are recom-
mended by Nissan for reliable vehicle
operation. You are not required to
perform maintenance on these items
in order to maintain the warranties
which come with your Nissan. Other
maintenance items and intervals are
required.
When applicable, additional informa-
tion can be found in the Maintenance
and do-it-yourself section in Chapter
8 of your Owners Manual.
NOTE: Nissan does not advocate the
use of non-OEM approved aftermar-
ket flushing systems and strongly ad-
vises against performing these ser-
vices on a Nissan product. Many of
the aftermarket flushing systems use
non-OEMapproved chemicals or sol-
vents, the use of which has not been
validated by Nissan.
For recommended fuel, lubricants,
fluids, grease, and refrigerant, refer to
Chapter 9 in your Owners Manual.
Emission Control System
Maintenance:
Drive Belts*
Check engine drive belts for wear,
fraying or cracking and for proper ten-
sion. Replace any damaged drive
belts.
Engine Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. When
driving for prolonged periods in dusty
conditions, check/replace the filter
more frequently.
Engine Coolant*
Replace coolant at the specified in-
terval. When adding or replacing
coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(Blue) or equivalent with the proper
mixture. (Refer to the Owners Manual
to determine the proper mixture for
your area.) The recommended ser-
vice interval of the factory-fill coolant
is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or
7 years, whichever comes first. Sub-
sequent replacement of Genuine
Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(Blue) should occur every
75,000 miles (120,000 km) or
5 years whichever comes first.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
11
NOTE: Mixing any other type of cool-
ant or the use of non-distilled water
will reduce the recommended service
interval of the coolant.

mended oil grade and viscosity refer

minimal Nissan recommended requirements for each time/mileage
interval, up to 120,000 miles / 96 months. Beginning on page 54 you

In-Cabin Microfilter
The In-Cabin Microfilter filters the air you breathe in your
vehicle. This system filters both outside and recirculated
air used by the air conditioning system in your vehicle.
Replacing the Microfilter every year or 15,000 miles is
the best way to help prevent road dust, pollen and other
air pollutants from entering the interior of your vehicle
and the air you breathe. If your vehicle is not equipped
with an In-Cabin Microfilter system see your Nissan
dealer about getting one installed youll breathe easier.

Tires are an important component of your Nissan driving
experience. They provide the four points of contact be-
tween your vehicle and the road and affect acceleration,
braking, cornering, load-carrying capacity, and overall
handling and performance.
Nissan engineers perform extensive tests to help deter-
mine which tires are best suited for use on Nissan ve-
