Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your engine are based on the use of the specified quality oils and filters. Using an engine oil and filter other than the specified quality, or exceeding recommended oil and filter change intervals could reduce engine life. Damage to the engine caused by improper maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high quality engine oil when it was built. You do not have to change the oil before the first recommended change interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may require more frequent oil and filter changes.
- repeated short distance driving at cold
outside temperatures
- driving in dusty conditions
- extensive idling
- towing a trailer
- stop and go commuting
Refer to the “NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide” for the maintenance schedule.
