30,000 mile maintenance

[WILLDANI]

I have a 2007 versa s with auto trans. I have 30,000 highway miles does anyone know when i should change the trans fluid and flush the radiator

All of your maintenance schedules should be in the back of the owner's manual... if you bought your V new, you should have received one.

30,000 miles is a good point to change (drain/refill) the ATF. At 60,000, you should probably have it power flushed.

As for coolant, that depends on what type is in the car. Manufacturers are starting to use longer-life coolants in the cars, so check your manual. If it's the plain jane green (ethylene glycol) stuff, 30,000 miles is the correct service interval for a coolant change. Others will go 60 or 100k depending on the brand.

I second that. Nowadays manufacturers say that you can go 100,000 miles before transmission fluid change but I don't buy that. I guess it is the info my dad pounded into my head when I was younger and working on cars with him. I change my transmission fluid every 30k or so and do the filter every other change (60k, 120k, etc.)

Just drive it into a lake and collect the insurance money. Seriously though, I believe they "inspect" the (automatic transmission) fluid at 30k, 60k, and 120k, and only change it if it's discolored. For 30k, you will want to do the following;

1) Flush cooling system 2) Replace fuel filter (if applicable) 3) Replace in-cabin microfilter4) Replace air filter (if not already done) 5) Inspect all fluid levels6) Suck brake fluid out of reservoir and replenish with new fluid (to prevent moisture contamination) 7) Oil change/filter8) Balance and rotate tires.

Yea, I need to do a 30k as soon as we get some decent weather around here.

CVT fluid should be changed every 60,000 miles. 30K service should be as followed:Oil changerotate and balance tiresCoolant flushAir filterBattery ServiceAdditional recommendation:In-Cabin Filter (every 15K)Brake Flush (every 24K)Alignment (Every 12 to 15K)Power Steering Flush (every 45K)

I work in a Nissan shop in Gaithersburg, MD so I know when intervals should be done.
