The routine maintenance schedule

Offered recommendations assume independent performance of procedures of service of the car by its owner unlike the works carried out by a workshop of dealer branch of the company NISSAN. While this chart is based on the recommendations of the manufacturer, the interval between the majority of procedures, at the discretion of the owner of the vehicle can be reduced, for example, inspection and replacement of lubricants and fluids should be made at intervals providing the maximum service life of the engine or drive. In addition, if the owner is interested in the car to keep it in a state of maximum readiness for operation in case of a possible resale, many procedures can be performed more frequently. We only welcome this initiative.

Initial service and check of the new car should be carried out by a workshop of dealer branch of the company in order to fulfill the conditions of warranty. In most cases, such a check is free of charge (for further information, please contact the dealer branch of the company).
