Why Is Automotive Maintenance Important?
When you follow the maintenance schedule for your Nissan Sentra, you give all the different components the care they need to function properly. Bringing your sedan in for regular maintenance also enables you to quickly address anything that may come up on your daily drives, so you can avoid or mitigate potential damage down the road.Â
By staying informed about the health of your Nissan Sentra, you can better ensure you and your passengers will be safe as you travel both near and far. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes and tire care, helps your vehicle perform better and can improve your gas mileage, too.
Routine Inspections for Your Nissan Sentra
On top of following the intervals outlined on this page, you will want an experienced service technician to inspect the various parts of your Nissan Sentra from time to time, including the CVT transmission fluid, drive shaft boots, exhaust system, and steering gear and linkage, as well as the:
- Axle & suspension parts
- Brake lines & cables
- Brake pads & rotors
- Fuel lines/connections
- Fuel tank vapor vent system
- Steering gear and linkage
Depending on the model year of your Nissan Sentra and the conditions in which you drive, your routine inspections and maintenance needs may vary. Make sure to check the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual and consult with a trusted technician.
Every 15,000 Miles
Each time you reach this interval, you will want to have a technician replace the in-cabin microfilter to make sure you and your passengers are breathing in the cleanest air possible inside the cabin.
Along with that, beginning with this interval and beyond, according to Nissan recommendations, you should have your tires rotated every 5,000 miles. This will ensure even wear across each tire, which leads to better traction and greater longevity.
Every 20,000 Miles
At this point, you will want to replace the brake fluid in your Nissan Sentra. This is important because it enables your vehicle to stop completely whenever you need it to.Â
Additionally, you will want to replace the engine oil and filter every time you reach this interval. That way, the vital components in your engine will be lubricated, so they can stay cool, work together smoothly, and remain protected from outside debris.
Every 30,000 Miles
When you arrive at this interval, you will want to replace the engine air filter, which helps protect the intricate components of the engine.Â
On top of that, if your Nissan Sentra has an Intelligent Key, you should replace the battery to make sure it continues to work as usual.
