2020 Nissan Altima
120,000 mile service checklist

Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.

120,000 mile service

  • Engine oil and filter change — 0W-20 full synthetic
  • Tire rotation
  • Replace spark plugs — 2.5L iridium second set (if first replaced at 90k); 2.0L VC-Turbo second set
  • Replace CVT fluid — Nissan NS-3 (third service cycle; CVT fluid condition is critical past 100k — fluid degradation accelerates clutch pack wear in the Jatco JF017E/JF018E units used in the 2020 Altima)
  • Replace coolant — Nissan Long Life Coolant flush and refill
  • Replace serpentine drive belt
  • Replace brake fluid — DOT 3 full flush
  • Replace AWD rear differential fluid (AWD models)
  • Full brake inspection: pads, rotors, calipers, parking brake cables
  • Inspect EVAP system and fuel cap seal
  • Inspect CV axle boots and joints front and rear (FWD and AWD)
