Nissan Tiida service: key facts

Routine service items

These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.

Service itemIntervalTypical cost
Engine oil and filter
Manufacturer specifies 10,000 miles or 12 months. Use 5W-30 synthetic oil. Change filter with every oil change. Missing this service voids warranty and accelerates engine wear.

Spark plugs
Manufacturer specifies 60,000 miles or 5 years. Use platinum or iridium plugs as specified. Worn plugs cause misfiring, poor fuel economy, and emissions failure.

Brake fluid
Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing brake fade. Use DOT 3 or DOT 4 as specified.

£60–£90
Dealer: £100–£130
Coolant flush

Auxiliary belt
Inspect annually for cracking, fraying, or glazing. Replace every 60,000 miles or 5 years as preventive measure. Belt failure stops alternator and power steering, causing breakdown.
