Engine Oil & Filter: For the 2019 Altima, which typically uses 0W-20 synthetic blend or full synthetic oil, regular oil changes are perhaps the most vital service. Nissan recommends a 5,000-mile or 6-month interval, whichever comes first. This ensures proper lubrication and protection for your engine’s internal components.
Tire Rotation: Rotating your tires at every oil change (5,000 miles) helps promote even wear, extending tire life and maintaining optimal handling and fuel efficiency.
Brake Inspection: A thorough inspection of your brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines should be performed every 10,000 miles or 12 months. This allows technicians to identify wear and tear before it becomes a safety issue.
Filters (Cabin & Engine Air): The cabin air filter keeps the air inside your Altima clean, and the engine air filter protects your engine from contaminants. Replace the cabin air filter every 10,000 miles and the engine air filter every 15,000 miles, or more frequently if you drive in dusty conditions.
