DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
As a condition of your vehicle's 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.
PREMIUM MAINTENANCE*
Premium Maintenance is a Nissan-
recommended 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.)
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
intervals; with Schedule 2 fewer mainte-
nance 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 under conditions other than
those listed in Schedule 1.
● * 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 participating Nissan dealer.
