Nissan maintenance schedule
The Nissan maintenance schedule depends on the model year. On the 2025 Rogue, the owner’s manual lists an oil and filter change when the Oil Control System asks, and never later than 7,500 miles or 12 months, with a tire rotation every 3,750 miles or 6 months. Older Nissans were often shorter: the 2019 Rogue manual has oil changes every 5,000 miles or 6 months. Use the schedule for your exact model and year.

The short answer
| Item | 2025 Rogue | 2019 Rogue |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and filter | When the Oil Control System asks; at most 7,500 miles or 12 months | Every 5,000 miles or 6 months |
| Tire rotation | Every 3,750 miles or 6 months | Every 5,000 miles |
| Spark plugs | See the Rogue maintenance schedule | Every 105,000 miles |
From the 2025 and 2019 Rogue owner’s manuals. The 2026 Rogue manual moves tire rotation to every 7,500 miles or 12 months. Other models and years differ.
How Nissan sets the schedule
Nissan uses a fixed schedule, like Hyundai and Toyota: each item is due at a number of miles or months, whichever comes first. Newer models, such as the Rogue since 2021, add an oil reminder in the meter that can call for an oil change before the printed limit. Nissan publishes the schedule by model and year in its Service and Maintenance Guide and on its online maintenance schedule site, with separate columns for standard and severe driving conditions.
On the 2025 Rogue, the oil change is on the standard schedule only, at 7,500 miles or 12 months at most, because the Oil Control System already shortens it for hard use. The severe column adds inspections and brake fluid every 7,500 miles or 12 months instead of 15,000 miles or 24 months. See normal vs severe maintenance.
Nissan oil change interval
For a recent Nissan, look up the oil interval for your model and year; on the 2025 Rogue it is at most 7,500 miles or 12 months. For an older Nissan, don’t assume the new number applies. The 2019 Rogue manual replaces the oil and filter at every 5,000-mile or 6-month step.
Use the oil grade and quantity printed in your manual. For a general view of how intervals have changed, see how often to change oil.
The maintenance reminder
On many Nissans, such as the 2019 Rogue, the reminder is not an oil life monitor. The vehicle information display has a Maintenance menu where you set your own reminders. In the 2019 Rogue manual, the menu has three items: Oil and Filter, Tire, and Other. Each one lets you set a reminder at a chosen interval or reset the current one.
Set the reminder to the interval in your schedule, and reset it after each service. If it was never set, it won’t warn you. The steps are in the instruments and controls section of your manual; see also how to reset the oil light.
Nissan Maintenance Care
Nissan Maintenance Care came with new 2025 Nissans bought or leased from dealer stock: 3 oil changes over 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, according to Nissan’s brochure. Electric vehicles were excluded, and the service was at participating Nissan dealers.
The program did not last the whole model year. Trade press reported in May 2025 that Nissan stopped it for gas vehicles built after May 1, 2025, and for EVs from the 2026 model year, while coverage printed on a car’s window sticker still applies. If you bought a 2025 Nissan, check the window sticker or ask the dealer whether your car is covered.
Where to find your Nissan’s schedule (PDF)
Nissan’s online maintenance schedule site lists each component by model and year, and Nissan’s owner site has owner’s manuals as PDFs. The Service and Maintenance Guide in the glove box has the full tables. How maintenance records protect your warranty: maintenance and warranty.
Keep a record
Because a Nissan reminder only knows the interval you set, keep your own record too. Write down the date, odometer, and work at each visit, and keep the receipts, in a car maintenance log. Nissan model pages, such as the Rogue, Altima, and Versa, have the schedule by year. More makes: car maintenance by make.
