2010 Nissan Altima Maintenance

You want your Nissan Altima to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Altima has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Altima maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2010 Nissan Altima maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Nissan themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Altima perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2010 Nissan Altima problems.

Bring your 2010 Nissan Altima to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Altima’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2010 Nissan Altima? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Altima may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Nissan Altima battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Altima) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Nissan Altima won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2010 Nissan Altima engine. To learn how often Nissan recommends you have the oil changed in your 2010 Altima, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2010 Nissan Altima.

Routine upkeep for your Nissan Altima suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Nissan Altima steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Nissan Altima's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Nissan Altima maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Nissan Altima? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
