Nissan Recommended Maintenance Service: What You Need to Know

Taking care of your Nissan with the Nissan Recommended Maintenance Service isn’t just about keeping it looking good—it’s about making sure it runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently for years to come. Whether you’re commuting to work, doing school drop-offs, or heading out for a weekend getaway, staying on top of your recommended maintenance will keep your car reliable and ready for anything.

At Rendez-Vous Nissan in Hawkesbury, we make it easy with clear service intervals, transparent pricing, and even a loyalty program that pays you back. Let’s break it all down.

Why the Nissan Recommended Maintenance Service Matters

Life gets busy, and it’s tempting to push off a service visit—but keeping your Nissan on a regular maintenance schedule is one of the smartest things you can do as a car owner.

Here’s why it matters:

• Avoid costly repairs by catching small issues early
• Maintain fuel efficiency and engine performance
• Protect your resale value with a well-documented service history
• Keep your warranty valid (yes, skipping services can affect this!)
• Drive with confidence knowing your vehicle is road-trip ready

Think of maintenance like going to the dentist—it’s not always fun, but it saves you a lot of pain and money later.

Following the Nissan Recommended Maintenance Service schedule ensures your vehicle gets the care it was built for.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I have to follow this exact maintenance schedule?

Following the manufacturer’s recommended schedule is strongly advised, especially for warranty coverage and resale value. However, your service advisor can customize the plan based on your driving habits.

What if I miss a service?

It’s not the end of the world, but it’s best to get back on track as soon as possible. Skipping services can accelerate wear and may void parts of your warranty.

Can I switch to synthetic oil from conventional?

Yes, and in fact, most new Nissans come with synthetic oil. It offers better performance in extreme temperatures and lasts longer between changes.

Do I need all the flushes listed at 48,000 km?

If you have an AWD model or tow regularly, those flushes are crucial for long-term performance. Your advisor can assess your vehicle and help you decide.
