Check for damage, looseness, and

driving conditions, inspect more fre-
quently.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles according to the instructions in
the Owner’s Manual (except all
370Z). When rotating tires, check for
damage and uneven wear. Replace if

If towing a trailer, using a camper or
car-top carrier, or driving on rough or

● replace the fluid/oil every 30,000
miles or 24 months.
● For vehicles with a CVT transmis-
sion (cube, Murano, Altima, Altima
Coupe, Maxima, Rogue, Sentra
and Versa), replace the fluid every
60,000 miles or request the dealer

data using a Consult. If the dete-
rioration data is more than
210000, replace the CVT fluid.
