Nissan Altima Factory Maintenance Schedule

Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.

The service schedule on a Nissan Altima is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

How often does a Nissan Altima need servicing?

The first scheduled visit is at 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, and the pattern repeats from there.

What is due at 30,000 miles on a Nissan Altima?

Replace engine air filter; Inspect drive belt, CVT fluid condition.

What is due at 60,000 miles on a Nissan Altima?

Repeat 30,000-mile services; Inspect EVAP vapor lines, fuel lines.

Does severe service change the schedule for a Nissan Altima?

Schedule 1 (5,000-mile oil changes) applies to most drivers; some dealer guides quote 7,500–10,000 mi for gentle highway use with synthetic. Most shops recommend an NS-3 CVT drain & fill every 30,000–60,000 mi even though Nissan lists it as inspect-only.
