⁽¹⁾

If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 30, 000 miles (48, 000 km) or 24 months. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan Matic Fluid K ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
