2020 Nissan Altima
90,000 mile service checklist

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

90,000 mile service

  • Engine oil and filter change — 0W-20 full synthetic
  • Tire rotation
  • Replace spark plugs — 2.5L iridium (factory 105k; replace at 90k preventively); 2.0L VC-Turbo: replace at 90k due to higher combustion stress from variable compression ratio cycling
  • Replace CVT fluid — Nissan NS-3 (second service if replaced at 60k; first service if skipped)
  • Replace AWD rear differential fluid (AWD models — 75W-90 synthetic GL-5)
  • Inspect serpentine belt — replace if any cracking or glazing observed
  • Inspect all coolant hoses for softness, swelling, or cracking
  • Inspect brake lines for corrosion (rust-belt markets especially)
  • Inspect wheel bearings — sealed hub assemblies on 2020 Altima
  • Inspect engine and transmission mounts
