See dealer for complete details on current offers and restrictions.
Smart Intervals
- Every 6 months / 5–7.5k miles: oil & filter, rotate tires, top fluids, multi-point check.
- 12 months: cabin/engine filters as needed; alignment check if you hit potholes/curbs.
- 2 years: brake fluid exchange, coolant test, battery test before winter.
- 60k–105k miles: spark plugs (varies by engine), CVT/AT service per manual.
- Anytime: wipers streaking? replace. Tires ≤4/32"? plan soon (winter = sooner).
Where the Money Sneaks Up
- Brakes: Combine pads + rotors at once to avoid repeat labor; ask for good/better/best options.
- Tires: Rotate every oil change; align yearly—cheap insurance against uneven wear.
- Battery: In Iowa cold, test at 3 years; replace proactively at 4–5 years.
- CVT service: Stick to the exact fluid and interval—this is not the place to experiment.
- Filters: Easy DIY savings; just verify airflow direction and clips.
- Some repairs or parts may be covered under warranty or service plans, providing peace of mind against unexpected costs.

Quick FAQs
Is dealership service more expensive?
Sometimes, but you get Nissan-trained techs, factory tools, and software updates. Always compare out-the-door quotes and what’s included (warranty on parts/labor, courtesy wash, shuttle).
Do I need synthetic oil?
Most late-model Nissans are spec’d for synthetic. Use the manual’s grade—it protects better in Iowa cold.
How often for CVT fluid?
Follow the owner’s manual or severe-service schedule if you tow, idle a lot, or drive in extreme temps.
Can I bring my own parts?
Some shops allow it, but labor warranties may not apply. Ask first.
Will skipping alignments really matter?
Yup—one bad winter pothole = tires wearing out early. A $120 alignment can save hundreds in rubber.
