How often will I need Nissan Altima differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Can my Altima malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Altima’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

If your Altima has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Altima?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Altima’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Altima forward.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 Nissan Altima, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Nissan's recommendations.
