10,000 Miles/12 Months: Replace Engine Oil & In-Cabin Microfilter
Similarly, about every 10,000 miles or once per year, you will want to have your engine oil and filter replaced. The engine oil keeps your engine properly lubricated and cool. By replacing both the engine oil and filter regularly, you can keep unwanted debris and sludge away from the vital components of your Nissan Altima.
Along with that, one of our service technicians can replace your in-cabin microfilter to ensure you and your passengers continue breathing in the freshest air possible.
20,000 Miles/24 Months: Replace Brake Fluid & Intelligent Key Battery
At this interval, you will want a trusted Nissan service technician to replace your brake fluid. The brake fluid in your car enables you to stop. Over time, it can break down from exposure to outside elements, such as moisture, so it's important to replace it periodically.
If your Nissan Altima comes equipped with the Intelligent Key System, you will also want to replace its battery to ensure you can continue to use the convenient push button start feature and more.
60,000 Miles/72 Months: Replace Engine Air Filter & Brake Fluid
When you reach this service milestone, you'll want to replace the engine air filter. The filter protects your engine by keeping dirt and debris away from it. Replacing the filter enables your engine to continue performing at its best.
105,000 Miles/126 Months: Replace Spark Plugs & Check Engine Coolant
When you reach this maintenance milestone, you and your Nissan Altima will likely have gone on many memorable adventures together. To keep it running smoothly, have a service technician inspect the spark plugs and engine coolant. If need be, they will replace both.
The spark plugs enable your engine to start, while the engine coolant works to regulate the extreme temperatures in your engine, so it doesn't overheat or become damaged.
