2026 Nissan Murano Maintenance Schedule
For nearly two decades, maintaining a Murano meant caring for a V6 engine and a CVT. The 2026 Nissan Murano changes the game entirely. With its advanced 2.0L VC-Turbo™ engine and all-new 9-Speed Automatic Transmission, the old rules no longer apply.
To keep this high-tech powertrain responding instantly on I-35W, you need to follow a schedule designed for its specific tolerances. At Fort Worth Nissan, our technicians are already factory-certified on the new platform. Here is your official guide to maintaining the 2026 Murano in the Texas heat.

Nissan’s manual lists two schedules: "Standard" and "Severe." In Fort Worth, we almost always qualify as Severe due to:
Our recommendation? Stick to the Severe schedule to ensure your warranty remains bulletproof. |

Essential Service Intervals (VC-Turbo Specific)
Every 5,000 Miles or 6 Months
- Oil & Filter Change: The Variable Compression Turbo engine is a marvel of engineering, constantly changing its internal shape. This precision requires clean oil. We use 0W-20 Full Synthetic to ensure lubrication during high-compression power bursts.
- Tire Rotation: Critical for AWD models to prevent uneven wear and protect the drivetrain.
Every 15,000 Miles
- Replace In-Cabin Microfilter: Protects your "Crystal Cube" interior from Tarrant County dust and pollen.
- Intelligent Key Battery: A simple swap that prevents you from getting locked out at the grocery store.
Every 30,000 Miles
- 9-Speed Transmission Service: Unlike the "sealed for life" myths of the past, we recommend inspecting and potentially servicing the automatic transmission fluid to keep shifts crisp.
- Brake Fluid Exchange: Essential for maintaining firm pedal feel in panic-stop situations.
Every 105,000 Miles
- Spark Plugs: The VC-Turbo engine demands high-performance iridium plugs to maintain its efficiency and power output.
- Coolant Flush: Refreshing the engine coolant prevents overheating during our triple-digit August afternoons.
