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 item	Interval	Typical 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. C11	10,000 miles or 1 year	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200
Air filter Manufacturer interval 20,000 miles or 2 years. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. Restricted airflow reduces performance and increases fuel consumption. C11	20,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £50–£70
Cabin pollen filter Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Check annually if used in high pollution areas. Blocked filter reduces air conditioning efficiency and cabin air quality. C11	20,000 miles or 2 years	£30–£50 Dealer: £60–£80

Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
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. C11	60,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200
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. C11	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £100–£130
Coolant flush Manufacturer recommends 60,000 miles or 5 years. Use genuine Nissan coolant or equivalent specification. Old coolant loses corrosion protection and can cause radiator and water pump damage. C11	60,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200
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. C11	60,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200
