Nissan Maxima Maintenance Schedule

You've probably heard it a thousand times: Make sure you keep your oil changed if you want your car to run well! This is very true, but the fact of the matter is, your Nissan maintenance schedule is far more than just an oil change every six months. It's a thorough, multi-point inspection to keep all of your parts running the way they should, and to keep your car at its top performance level.

Check out everything you need to know in this Nissan Maxima maintenance schedule, provided by St. Charles Nissan. By reading through this guide, you'll be able to keep your sedan running strong around St. Louis, Saint Peters, O'Fallon, and St. Charles for years to come.

Nissan Maxima Maintenance

Your regular Nissan Maxima maintenance is an important regular service that's done roughly every 5,000 miles. It allows your service tech to make sure the car is running as it should, to replace items as they get worn down, and generally keep you from having major problems.

It's true that it's built around a basic routine oil change and tire rotation, but there's more that goes into it than that. Here's a look at what happens at each 5,000-mile interval, so you know what to expect when you schedule your next Nissan Maxima maintenance visit…

5,000-Mile Basic Nissan Maintenance Schedule

At every maintenance visit, you'll get the services from this basic 5,000-mile Nissan maintenance schedule. This generally includes your oil change and tire rotation. If you drive your car hard, your mechanic may want to check additional items like your Nissan Maxima's drive shaft, exhaust system, steering, and other items for wear and tear.

10,000-Mile Annual Nissan Maxima Service

Every 10,000 miles, or every year (whichever comes first), you'll get, in addition to the 5,000-mile service above, a few other checkup items. These include inspecting your transmission (including any transmission fluid or oil levels), a check of your brake system (and replacement, if needed), a look at your drive shaft, and other, similar drivetrain systems.

15,000-Mile, 18-Month Maintenance

Every 18 months, or every 15,000 miles, you'll get your standard oil change and tire rotation. Plus, the technician will replace the batteries in your Intelligent Key system, while also swapping out a fresh microfilter in your auto cabin.

2-Year, 20,000-Mile Service Appointment

Every two years, or every 20,000 miles, you'll get your regular 5,000-mile service work done, as well as having your brake fluid changed out. In addition, the technician will thoroughly check the following, to be sure everything is just as it should be…

• Transmission fluid
• Brake system
• Exhaust
• Suspension
• Axle, ball joints, and drive shaft
• Fuel system
• Steering system

60,000 Miles & 105,000 Miles

The maintenance schedule will follow mostly the same pattern until your vehicle reaches 60,000 miles. At this point, you'll follow the above-mentioned checks, plus get the air cleaner filter replaced.

If your Nissan Maxima is still running well after 105,000 miles, then you've done a great job at keeping up with the recommend maintenance. The only new item to be completed is to have the spark plugs replaced.
