* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

Abbreviations: R = Replace.

I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary.

NOTE:

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-III every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to 

TM-36, "CONSULT-III Function (TRANS-

MISSION)"

.) And if CONSULT-III is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using

transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new
vehicle limited warranty.

(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.

(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.

INFOID:0000000005516133

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

• (1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

• (2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.

• (3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine

cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. After first replacement, replace every 40,000 km (24,000 miles) or
24 months.

• (4) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section. 

• (5) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.4 mm (0.055 in) even if within specified periodic replacement mileage.

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

• (1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with

CONSULT-III every 100,000 km (60,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to 

TM-36, "CONSULT-III Function

(TRANSMISSION)"

.) And if CONSULT-III is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 100,000 km (60,000 miles).

Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS

The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.

Severe driving conditions
A — Driving under dusty conditions
B — Driving repeatedly short distances
C — Towing a trailer or caravan
D — Extensive idling
E — Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F — Driving in high humidity or mountainous areas
G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I — Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas
J — Frequent driving in water

Maintenance operation: Inspect = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary.
