Hey everyone.

Since I have taken over driving thr murano I have clocked a good amount of miles on the car

What I have done so far for maintenance in the last 25 000 km


Transmission fully replaced under cvt warranty
All drive belts replaced
Replacement alternator new
Battery replaced
All recalls performed
Oil and filter changed every 6000 km castrol full synthetic
Air filter changed
Cabin filter changed
All rotors and brakes replaced
Left window regulater fully replaced
Both front hub assemblies replaced
Oil changed in cvt and pressure tested


What at this point needs to be taken care of. Fluids / oils etc.

I have never checked the differentials

Nissan recommends the plugs be changed at 105,000 miles, so you should look at having that done. Other than that I would say the only maintenance item you missed would be the coolant. If you are still running the OEM coolant I would definitely flush the cooling system and add new coolant.

^^Good recommendations. I would add that if it has been more than three years since the brake work was done, I'd change the brake fluid.

And you can probably get some info by checking service intervals in the owner's manual.

Thanks guys

I am going to take care of the brake / coolant / power steering fluids (it should be fairly simple).

What about the fluids in the diffs, would these have been taken care of when the CVT was recalled (I was pulling a boat with the truck for a while).

finally, should I do the plugs myself or have nissan do it. is it really that difficult to get at ?

I would suggest that everything fluid in the vehicle be replaced. Brakes, power steering, differentials, coolant, etc. If your CVT is brand new then forget that one. Just make sure it's not leaking. If AC is working then that one doesn't need to be redone. Redo your plugs for sure. Be ready to swap out the valve covers because the MO's 3.5 is notorious for letting oil past the spark plug tube seals so oil fills the spark plug tubes.

And for your jokers out there...don't need to replace the windshield washer fluid!
