Maintenance requirements

Basic information

Consistent day-to-day care and regularly scheduled maintenance are essential for keeping the Nissan Murano in good mechanical condition. Proper maintenance also supports dependable engine operation, emissions performance, driving quality, and the long-term reliability of the vehicle’s major systems.

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all scheduled maintenance services and general maintenance checks are completed at the recommended times. Delaying required inspections or service may allow minor issues to develop into more serious mechanical problems.

As the vehicle owner, you play the central role in making sure the Nissan Murano receives appropriate care throughout its service life. Keeping track of maintenance intervals, responding to warning signs, and arranging necessary service are all important parts of the maintenance process.

General maintenance

General maintenance includes the routine items that should be observed or checked during normal day-to-day vehicle operation. These inspections are important for safe, efficient, and dependable operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to perform them regularly and to address any unusual condition that may require further attention.

Most general maintenance checks require only limited mechanical knowledge and a small selection of common automotive tools. Many conditions can also be identified through careful visual inspection, awareness of changes in vehicle operation, and attention to unusual sounds, smells, vibrations, or warning indicators.

These checks and inspections may be performed by the owner, a qualified automotive technician, or, when preferred, a NISSAN dealer. Any condition that cannot be properly evaluated or corrected should be examined by an experienced service professional.

Scheduled maintenance

The maintenance items listed in this section must be inspected, replaced, or serviced at regular intervals. The required timing is based on normal vehicle use; however, operation under severe driving conditions may require additional service or shorter maintenance intervals to protect the Nissan Murano and maintain reliable performance.

Where to go for service

If maintenance is required or the vehicle appears to be operating abnormally, have the affected systems inspected and serviced without unnecessary delay. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for diagnosis, maintenance, and repair when professional service is needed.

NISSAN technicians are trained specialists who receive updated service information through technical bulletins, service guidance, and continuing training programs. This information helps them remain familiar with current inspection procedures, repair methods, and vehicle-specific service requirements.

They are qualified to inspect and service NISSAN vehicles using procedures appropriate for the systems and components involved before repair work is carried out.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision, it is recommended that you ask your NISSAN dealer for the location of the nearest NISSAN Certified Collision Center or visit http://collision.nissanusa.com. A qualified collision repair facility can evaluate visible damage as well as conditions that may not be immediately apparent.

A NISSAN dealer’s service department has the training and service information needed to perform maintenance that meets the applicable requirements for your vehicle. Properly completed inspections and maintenance help preserve the operation, safety, and long-term condition of the Nissan Murano.
