2011 Nissan Altima Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Nissan Altima, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Altima has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Altima maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2011 Nissan Altima!

Nissan knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Altima's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2011 Nissan Altima problems later.

Bring your 2011 Nissan Altima to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Nissan Altima battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Altima stranded. Your Nissan Altima won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 Nissan Altima running newer, longer. See Nissan's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2011 Altima in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2011 Nissan Altima.
