Maintenance schedules

Basic information

To support smooth, safe, reliable, and economical operation, NISSAN provides two maintenance schedules that may be followed according to the conditions under which the Nissan Murano is normally driven. Each schedule specifies both mileage and time-based service intervals through 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 192 months, allowing maintenance to be performed according to whichever limit is reached first.

For most owners, the odometer reading will determine when scheduled service is required. However, vehicles that accumulate mileage slowly must still receive maintenance at the applicable time intervals shown in the schedule. Limited use does not eliminate the effects of age, temperature changes, moisture, and normal material deterioration.

After 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 192 months, continue performing maintenance at the same mileage and time intervals shown in the schedule. Regular service should continue throughout the operating life of the Nissan Murano.

Additional maintenance Items for severe operating conditions

Additional maintenance for severe operating conditions is required when the vehicle is regularly driven under especially demanding circumstances. These conditions can place greater stress on the engine, fluids, filters, brakes, drivetrain components, and other systems, making more frequent inspection or replacement necessary. Follow the additional maintenance requirements if the Nissan Murano is primarily operated under one or more of the following conditions:

  • Repeated trips of less than 5 miles (8 km), particularly when the engine does not remain at normal operating temperature for an extended period.
  • Repeated trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) while outside temperatures remain below freezing.
  • Frequent operation in hot weather and stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
  • Extended idling and/or prolonged low-speed driving, including operating patterns associated with police, taxi, or door-to-door delivery service.
  • Regular driving in dusty conditions where airborne dirt and debris may accumulate more quickly.
  • Driving on rough, muddy, or salt-covered roads that expose vehicle components to impact, contamination, moisture, or corrosive material.
  • Towing a trailer, carrying a camper, or using a car-top carrier that increases the load placed on the vehicle.

If the vehicle is mainly operated under any of these severe conditions, follow the severe-use intervals provided in the maintenance schedule. Selecting the schedule that accurately reflects actual driving conditions helps ensure that service is performed before accelerated wear or fluid deterioration affects vehicle operation.

Oil control system

The vehicle is equipped with an oil control system that calculates the appropriate engine oil and oil filter replacement interval according to operating conditions. Rather than relying only on accumulated mileage, the system evaluates how the Nissan Murano is driven and adjusts the oil replacement display timing accordingly.

Severe driving conditions place additional demands on the engine oil and may cause the oil replacement indicator to appear earlier. When operating conditions are more demanding, the engine oil and filter change interval will therefore be shorter than it would be during lighter, more consistent driving.

How driving conditions affect OCS display timing

2.0L 4 cylinder (KR20DDET engine model): Under light driving conditions, the oil control system display timing will remain within the normal range when the vehicle is commonly operated in the following situations:

  • Regular freeway driving at relatively consistent speeds.
  • City driving on flat roads or roads with moderate hills.
  • Operation without towing or carrying heavy loads.
  • Driving without extended periods of engine idling.

Under extreme or highly demanding driving conditions, the oil replacement display may appear earlier. The following operating patterns can shorten the calculated engine oil and filter replacement interval:

  • Repeated trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
  • Repeated trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) while outside temperatures remain below freezing.
  • Frequent driving in hot weather and stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
  • Extended idling and/or prolonged low-speed operation, such as police, taxi, or door-to-door delivery use.
  • Towing a trailer or caravan, or carrying additional equipment in a car-top carrier.
  • Driving that requires frequent braking or regular operation in mountainous areas.
  • Sustained high-speed driving for extended periods.

CAUTION

  • When the oil replacement indicator appears, replace the engine oil and oil filter within two weeks or before driving an additional 500 miles (800 km), whichever occurs first. After completing the oil and filter replacement, reset the display so the system can begin calculating the next interval correctly.
  • Continuing to operate the vehicle with deteriorated engine oil may reduce lubrication effectiveness and cause engine damage.
  • If the oil replacement indicator is reset before the oil is changed or becomes inoperative, replace the engine oil and filter within six months or 3,750 miles (6,000 km) of the previous oil change, whichever occurs first.
