Nissan Maintenance Care is a comprehensive, manufacturer-supported program designed to simplify vehicle upkeep. Specifically, this complimentary program covers up to three oil changes within the first two years or 24,000 miles of owning your Nissan. For Streetsboro drivers, this means less worry about routine maintenance costs early on and more confidence that your vehicle is protected with genuine Nissan parts and expert care.
This program takes the guesswork out of maintenance, ensuring that essential services are completed on time. It’s particularly advantageous for residents of nearby cities such as Hudson and Twinsburg Township, where consistent climate and road conditions require attentive vehicle care.

How Often Does a Nissan Need Service?
Nissan recommends servicing your vehicle every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. This interval balances preventative care with cost efficiency, addressing critical systems such as your engine, transmission, brakes, and tires. For drivers in Streetsboro, Akron, or Ravenna Township, adhering to this schedule helps maintain vehicle reliability in varying weather and traffic conditions.
At 15,000 miles, a minor service typically includes oil and oil filter changes, brake inspections, and tire rotation. As your Nissan reaches 30,000 miles, the maintenance expands to include transmission fluid, coolant, and fuel filter replacement to support drivetrain health.
Major service milestones occur at 60,000 and 90,000 miles, involving spark plug replacement, battery inspection, and comprehensive system checks. Regular maintenance at these intervals significantly reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns and extends your Nissan’s lifespan.
For Streetsboro area Nissan owners, our dealership supports all scheduled maintenance services with Nissan-trained technicians ready to assist. Use our Schedule Service tool to book your next appointment.
How to Find Your Nissan’s Maintenance Schedule
Each Nissan model comes with a specific maintenance schedule that outlines when to perform various services. You can find this schedule in your vehicle’s owner’s manual, a reliable source tailored to your model and year. For digital convenience, apps like Carfax’s Car Care provide reminders and track your maintenance history, making it easier for drivers in Boston Heights and Solon to stay organized.
Additionally, Nissan’s Maintenance Minder system (covered later) offers real-time alerts on your dashboard, customized based on your driving habits and conditions.

Understanding the Nissan Maintenance Minder System
Modern Nissan vehicles come equipped with the intelligent Maintenance Minder system, which tracks engine oil life and alerts you when it’s time for service. This system goes beyond simple oil change reminders by recommending specific maintenance actions based on how you drive, environmental conditions, and vehicle usage.
For example, the system calculates oil life as a percentage, starting at 100% after an oil change and counting down to 0%. When the life reaches around 15%, a maintenance light appears on your dashboard, signaling it’s time to visit your service center.
The Maintenance Minder uses codes to communicate which services are due:
- Code A: Oil and oil filter replacement only
- Code B: Includes oil change plus inspections of brakes, suspension, and other critical components
Subcodes specify additional services like tire rotation or spark plug replacement.
This dynamic system is especially valuable to drivers in busy areas like Twinsburg Township or Akron, where stop-and-go traffic and seasonal weather conditions influence maintenance needs.
For assistance interpreting these codes and scheduling maintenance, contact Nissan of Streetsboro at (330) 968-0123 or use our Schedule Service tool.

Models to approach with caution include:
- Nissan Rogue (2008-2010, 2013-2014, 2018): Known for transmission failures and mechanical problems.

Recent recalls affect models with 1.5L and 2.0L VC-Turbo engines, including some 2021-2024 Rogues and 2019-2020 Altimas, due to potential defects leading to engine failure.
When shopping for used Nissan vehicles, always check recall history and consider certified pre-owned options from our Pre-Owned Vehicle Inventory. Our team can advise you on the best model years and help you avoid problematic ones.
How Often Should You Change Synthetic Oil in Your Nissan?
Synthetic oil is recommended for most modern Nissan models due to its superior heat resistance and longer lifespan. Typically, synthetic oil changes are advised every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your driving conditions.
In areas like Streetsboro, Tallmadge, and Boston Heights, where weather varies and driving often includes short trips and stop-and-go traffic, more frequent oil changes may be necessary to prevent engine wear.
Always consult your vehicle’s owner manual or follow the Nissan Maintenance Minder system alerts to determine the ideal oil change interval for your specific Nissan. For genuine synthetic oil and professional service, visit our Nissan of Streetsboro service center.
What Is the Nissan Maintenance Warning?
The Nissan Maintenance Reminder System is an intelligent, automated alert built into your vehicle’s dashboard or infotainment display. It tracks mileage, engine runtime, and time elapsed to remind you when key services are due.
Typical alerts include:
- Service Due Soon (e.g., oil change, tire rotation)
- Service Due Now (immediate maintenance required)
- Service Overdue (urgent attention needed to avoid damage)
Drivers in areas like Bainbridge Township and Ravenna Township benefit from this system, which helps prevent costly repairs by ensuring timely maintenance.
Resetting the reminder after service is essential to keep the system accurate. Our Nissan of Streetsboro service team can assist with resetting reminders and performing the necessary maintenance to keep your Nissan in top condition.
