Exactly what is due at each interval, and where severe-service conditions change it. ## 2012-2013 Nissan Rogue maintenance schedule (High confidence) ### 5,000 miles / 6 months - Replace engine oil and filter (5W-30) - Rotate tires - Inspect brakes, fluid levels, wipers ### 15,000 miles / 12 months - Replace in-cabin microfilter (sooner in dusty areas) - Inspect steering, suspension, exhaust, drive shaft boots ### 20,000 miles / 24 months - Replace brake fluid (then every ~2 years) ### 30,000 miles / 24 months - Replace engine air filter - Inspect CVT fluid condition (drain & fill with NS-2 strongly recommended by 60,000 mi) ### 60,000 miles / 48 months - CVT fluid drain & fill (NS-2), required under severe service, cheap insurance for all cars - Inspect drive belts ### 105,000 miles / 84 months - Replace iridium spark plugs - Replace engine coolant (then every 75,000 mi) Note: Condensed from Nissan's US maintenance guide (Schedule 1, the more conservative schedule most drivers fall under).
