Severe-duty schedule
The Frontier's "severe-duty" schedule is for trucks that see heavy use. This includes frequent towing, extensive idling, driving in dusty "off-road" conditions, or making many short trips in cold weather. Under these conditions, Nissan recommends changing the oil and filter every 5,000 miles. You should also inspect and potentially replace air filters and other fluids more frequently.
Known issues by mileage
The current-generation Nissan Frontier (2022-present) has proven to be a reliable truck. However, some early-production models had minor transmission-related complaints. By the 2024 model year, these seem to have been ironed out. As these trucks age, expect common wear items to appear. Pay close attention to brake pad and rotor wear, especially if you tow. Suspension components like shocks and struts will likely need replacement closer to the 100,000-mile mark.
Estimated cost per service
- 5,000-mile service (oil change, tire rotation): $75 - $150
- 30,000-mile service (oil change, tire rotation, filters, brake fluid): $300 - $500
- 60,000-mile service (adds belt inspection): $350 - $600
- 100,000-mile service (adds spark plugs): $500 - $800
What you can DIY vs shop
- DIY: Oil and filter changes, tire rotations, and air filter replacements are all straightforward jobs for the home mechanic with basic tools. This can save you hundreds of dollars over the life of your truck.
- Shop: Fluid flushes (brake, coolant, transmission) are best left to a professional shop. They have the equipment to do the job cleanly and ensure all the old fluid is removed. Spark plug replacement on modern V6 engines can be labor-intensive, so we recommend leaving that to a pro as well. Critical inspections of suspension, steering, and the timing chain are also best left to a trained technician.
