Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Owner's Manual: Maintenance schedules

To help ensure smooth, safe, and economical driving throughout the service life of your Nissan Sentra, NISSAN provides two maintenance schedules that can be selected based on the conditions in which you typically operate your vehicle.

These maintenance schedules include both mileage- and time-based intervals, extending up to 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 144 months. In most cases, the odometer reading will indicate when maintenance service is required. However, if your Nissan Sentra is driven infrequently, scheduled service should still be performed at the regular time intervals listed.

After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/ 144 months, continue maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.

Additional maintenance items for severe operating conditions

Additional maintenance items are required for vehicles that are driven under severe or demanding operating conditions. These items should be performed if your Nissan Sentra is primarily operated under one or more of the following conditions:

If your Nissan Sentra is primarily driven under these severe conditions, follow the severe use maintenance intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to help prevent premature wear and maintain reliability.

Oil control system

Your vehicle is equipped with an oil control system (OCS). This system calculates engine oil and oil filter replacement intervals based on actual driving conditions rather than mileage alone.

Driving under severe conditions will shorten the recommended engine oil and filter change interval.
