2020 Nissan Altima
60,000 mile service checklist
Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.
60,000 mile service
- Engine oil and filter change — 0W-20 full synthetic
- Tire rotation
- Replace cabin air filter
- Replace engine air filter
- Replace CVT fluid — Nissan NS-3 Xtronic CVT fluid (Nissan factory severe-duty schedule: every 60k for towing, stop-and-go, hot climate, or short-trip driving; normal schedule: inspect at 60k and replace by 120k — however most Nissan technicians strongly recommend 60k replacement to prevent premature CVT failure; the CVT cooler should be inspected for leaks and blockage at this interval)
- Inspect spark plugs — iridium (2.5L: factory change at 105k; 2.0L VC-Turbo: inspect at 60k — the variable compression mechanism places higher stress on plugs)
- Replace brake fluid — DOT 3 flush
- Inspect coolant — Nissan Long Life Coolant (blue or green; first change at 105k/10 years; inspect at 60k for contamination)
- Inspect AWD rear differential fluid (AWD models — GL-5 75W-90 synthetic; inspect level and condition)
- Inspect serpentine belt and tensioner
