I have a '22 Mo SL purchased in February. Dealer told me 6 months or 5000 miles, whichever comes first. If you look at the "severe" maintenance schedule from Nissan, it's the same. I had a '10 Mo from new and followed the schedule above for that one too. Worked well for me for 84K miles.
I follow whatever is in the maintenance schedule, especially while under warranty. If it says 10 months/10k miles then follow that. If you fall under whatever the severe maintenance schedule states follow that. I have a 2019 so I’m not familiar with what the changes may be for the 2022 but the 2019 is every 6 months or 5k miles. You can definitely do it sooner if you want to of course. But rule of thumb to avoid any issues while under warranty you should definitely follow the schedule in the manual.…solely because if Nissan wanted to be nitpicking they could deny a warranty repair if they feel like you didn’t follow the maintenance schedule and can claim that contributed to the issue. I had them try to do that with me on my Rogue because one oil change was done 60 miles past the mileage it should have been done. Their attempt failed of course but they tried
Honestly…it took awhile for me to get used to anything beyond the old 3 months/3K mile schedule that used to be in most cars owners manual. I don’t think it’s confusing the way it’s written though. It’s pretty much the way it’s been for a long time…the number has changed but the requirement to have the service done by a specific number of months has been there for as long as I have been driving. Used to be a pain when I had a daily commute that made me have to get my oil changed every month and a half to ensure I followed the schedule while under warrant. I think it’s overkill for most people BUT a necessary evil to follow while under warranty unless you don’t worry about a covered repair under warranty being denied for not following the schedule.
