5,000 Miles or 6 Months
At its first 5,000 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first), it's important to have your Nissan Sentra inspected. It's crucial to have various areas looked over, including:
- Car battery
- Engine drive belts
- Engine air filter
- Coolant levels
- And more
You'll also need to have your Sentra's tires rotated to make sure the tread wears evenly during your commutes.
10,000 Miles or 12 Months
The next recommended maintenance appointment comes at 10,000 miles or 12 months. During this appointment, it's important to completely change the engine oil. Also, the oil filter should be replaced. Performing these services will help extend the overall life of the engine and are vital to maintaining a healthy ride.
15,000 Miles or 18 Months
Your Nissan Sentra also comes with a micro-filter that helps catch pollutants from entering the cabin and, ultimately, your lungs.
At 15,000 miles or 18 months, this air filter will need to be replaced with a new, clean filter to catch any new contaminants. Doing so will let you breathe easy on your drives to Vincente's Supermarket.
20,000 Miles or 24 Months
Certain maintenance services and inspections will need to be repeated at regular intervals. A new area added at around 20,000 miles or 24 months is to have your Nissan's fuel lines inspected. The technician will carefully look over these connection lines to check for any potential leaks in order to keep your vehicle in shape.
After this, most of your vehicle's service appointments will look after similar areas.
105,000 Miles or 126 Months
Jumping up to this landmark number of 105,000 miles or 126 months, you'll find some unique necessary maintenance services, including:
- Engine coolant replacement
- New spark plugs
Spark plugs give your Sentra's engine, well, its spark. So, get a fresh set to keep your commutes in peak condition. Likewise, the engine coolant prevents the engine from overheating, so make sure the fluid gets flushed out and replaced at this point.
Severe Driving Conditions
Some of these interval dates may vary, particularly if you operate your vehicle under "severe use." The guidelines for severe use can be found alongside ordinary appointments listed in your Nissan Sentra maintenance schedule.
What qualifies as severe use? Well, some of these factors include but aren't limited to:
- Driving your Sentra on rough, dusty roads
- Driving in extremely hot or cold weather
- Extensively idling the vehicle
- Making frequent trips under five miles
- And more
If you drive under any of those conditions, such as driving frequently in stop-and-go traffic, be sure to give your Sentra the extra attention it deserves.
