Maintenance and schedules -> Standard maintenance for Your Nissan Qashqai SUV 2020

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES  
STANDARD MAINTENANCE  
To help ensure smooth, safe and eco-  
nomical driving, NISSAN provides two  
maintenance schedules that may be  
used, depending upon the conditions in  
which you usually drive. These schedules  
contain both distance and time intervals,  
up to 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96  
months. For most people, the odometer  
reading will indicate when service is  
needed. However, if you drive very little,  
your vehicle should be serviced at the  
regular time intervals shown in the sche-  
dule.  
The following tables show the standard  
maintenance schedule. Depending upon  
weather and atmospheric conditions,  
varying road surfaces, individual driving  
habits and vehicle usage, additional or  
more frequent maintenance may be re-  
quired.  
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96  
months, continue maintenance at the  
same mileage/time intervals.  
.
.
Operating in hot weather in stop-and-  
go “rush hour” traffic.  
Extensive idling and/or low speed  
driving for long distances, such as  
police, taxi or door-to-door delivery  
use.  
.
.
Driving in dusty conditions.  
Driving on rough, muddy or salt  
spread roads.  
.
Using a car-top carrier.  
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96  
months, continue maintenance at the  
same mileage/time intervals.  
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS

9-8 Maintenance and schedules  
NOTE:  
Maintenance items with “$” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving conditions”  
(P.9-10).  
(1) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.  
(2) If using a car-top, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then  
change CVT fluid if necessary. And if inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000  
km). It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer to perform this service.  
(3) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if  
found damaged.  
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles  
(120,000 km) or 60 months.  
(5) Use Only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze / Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and  
50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life  
expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.  
(6) Periodic maintenance is not required.  
(7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.  
(8) If using a car-top, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24  
months.  
(9) Replace spark plug when the plug gap exceed 0.053 in (1.35 mm) even if within specified replacement mileage.  
(10) For additional information on tire rotation, refer to “General maintenance” (P.9-2).  
*: Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not  
perform such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance  
items and intervals are required.
