How to Follow Your Nissan Kicks Maintenance Schedule
You can find the complete Nissan Kicks maintenance schedule in your owner's manual. In general, you should schedule maintenance when you reach specific mileage intervals. However, if you drive very little, be sure to schedule service when you reach the time intervals indicated in your owner's manual.
If you operate your vehicle in what are considered 'severe' conditions, you will need to service your Nissan more frequently. A few of these qualifying conditions include making repeated short trips, driving in stop-and-go traffic in high heat, using a top carrier, and more. In this case, follow the severe use maintenance schedule rather than the normal use one outlined below.
7,500 miles/6 months
At this mileage or time marker, whichever comes first, you should ask your service technician to perform a battery test and inspections for the horn, lights, signals, wipers, and rear hatch, as well as:
- All fluids
- Engine air filter
- Suspension components
- Tire pressure, treadwear, and depth
- Engine drive belt and hose inspections
Along with these inspections, you will want to replace the engine oil and filter and schedule a tire rotation to promote even wear.
15,000 miles/12 months
When you reach this milestone, you will want to schedule a few more inspections for your Nissan Kicks, including for the engine air filter, suspension components, and:
- Brake lines & cables
- Brake pads & rotors
- Drums & linings
- Drive shaft boots
- CVT fluid
You should also replace the in-cabin microfilter to keep the cabin filled with clean air.
30,000 miles/24 months
This mile marker calls for you to replace the brake fluid and engine air filter. Brake fluid is an important part of your brake system and is necessary to bring your vehicle to a stop, while the engine air filter helps protect your engine from dirt and debris.
45,000 miles/36 months
When you reach this point, replace your Intelligent Key battery. This will enable you to continue using its convenient features like starting the engine without inserting the key.
105,000 miles/84 months
At this point in your Nissan Kicks journey, you should replace both the spark plugs and engine coolant. This will ensure you can start your Nissan Kicks and keep each part of your engine cool and protected from overheating.
