Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Federal data traces a pronounced downward trend across the 370Z generation, with complaints dropping from 153 in 2009 and 110 in 2010 to just 10 by 2014 and only 1 in 2019. The 2019 model year recorded 0 recalls, 0 investigations, and 52 TSBs—the same TSB count as 2018 and exactly half the 104 logged in 2014—placing it at the quietest end of the generation’s federal record. Its lone complaint falls under Vehicle Speed Control, with zero crash and zero fire complaints noted, though the data does not specify a root cause. With the lowest complaint total in the provided record and no recalls or investigations, the 2019 model sits at the most favorable point in this eleven-year arc. That profile makes the 2019 Nissan 370Z a very good year to buy on the used market.
