2000 Nissan Altima Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Nissan Altima and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Altima could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Altima maintenance. Just follow your 2000 Nissan Altima maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Nissan, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Altima perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2000 Nissan Altima problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2000 Nissan Altima and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Altima's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2000 Nissan Altima. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Nissan Altima battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Altima) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Nissan Altima won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2000 Nissan Altima running newer, longer. See Nissan's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2000 Altima in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2000 Nissan Altima? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Nissan Altima steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Nissan Altima suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Nissan Altima's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Nissan Altima services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Nissan Altima cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Nissan Altima radiator? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2000 Nissan Altima maintenance.
