Every practical service interval and common OEM part number for the 3rd-generation Nissan Rogue (2021–2026, T33). 2021 uses a 2.5L (PR25DD); 2022+ gas models use the 1.5L VC-Turbo (KR15DDT)—oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and capacities all differ. Track the right engine in Carmainty so reminders and part numbers stay accurate.
Quick reference
Master reference for the T33 Rogue under normal driving. Nissan’s schedule is time/mileage based; many owners keep oil at 5,000 miles (8,000 km) / 6 months on the VC-Turbo rather than stretching intervals. The VC-Turbo and severe-CVT section below shows what to tighten up.
| Interval | Service item | Notes & OEM |
|---|---|---|
| Every 5,000 mi (8,000 km) / 6 mo (typical) | Engine oil & filter | 0W-20 · 2021: 15208-65F0E · 2022+: 15208-65F1E |
| Every oil change | Tire rotation | Match tread depths on AWD · check pressures |
| Every 6 months | Brake inspection | Pads, rotors, lines · short trips and hills wear faster |
| 15,000–20,000 mi (24,000–32,000 km) | Cabin air filter | 27277-6RC0B (also 6RC0A · Japan 6RF0A) |
| 30,000 mi (48,000 km) | Engine air filter | 2021: 16546-6RA0A · 2022+: 16546-6RC1A |
| 30,000 mi (48,000 km) | Brake fluid inspection | Replace if dark or contaminated · every 2–3 yr |
| 30,000–60,000 mi (48,000–96,000 km) | CVT fluid drain & fill | Genuine Nissan NS-3 only · sooner if severe |
| AWD: per manual | Transfer case / rear differential fluid | Inspect · replace per Nissan chart or hard use |
| Per engine chart | Spark plugs — 2021 2.5L PR25DD | 22401-6LD1C · qty 4 |
| Per engine chart | Spark plugs — 2022+ 1.5T KR15DDT | 22401-6RC1E · qty 3 |
| Per manual | Engine coolant | Nissan Long Life · do not mix chemistries |
| Annually | 12V battery check | Replace ~3–5 yr · more start/stop load on 1.5T |
Engine-specific — don’t mix up your parts
Two different gas engines mean different oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and capacities. Using the 2021 filter on a 2022+ (or the reverse) is a classic parts-counter mistake.

Detailed schedule
Expand each item for OEM numbers, capacities, and owner notes. Always confirm fitment for your year, engine, and drivetrain.
Every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) / 6 months (typical)
All recent 3rd-gen Rogues specify 0W-20. 2021 2.5L (PR25DD) is about 5.4 qt (5.1 L) with filter. 2022–2026 1.5L VC-Turbo (KR15DDT) is about 5 qt (4.7 L)—and uses a different oil filter. Do not stretch oil intervals on the VC-Turbo.
Turbocharged, variable-compression engines see more heat and shear than a conventional naturally aspirated four. Log date and mileage every oil change in Carmainty so the 6-month limit doesn’t slip.
15208-65F0E2021 PR25DD only. Same family as many earlier Nissans—confirm year before ordering.
15208-65F1EKR15DDT VC-Turbo. Supersedes earlier 65F1A/65F1B listings. Not interchangeable with 65F0E.
Every oil service
Rotate at every oil change and measure tread depth. AWD Rogues need matched tread depths—uneven tires can stress the coupling and drivetrain.
Inspect pads and rotors every six months. Stop-and-go driving and hills wear brakes faster than the book assumes, so measure rather than guess.
Every 15,000–20,000 miles (24,000–32,000 km)
On 3rd-gen Rogues the cabin filter is typically behind a snap-off access door low on the passenger-side center HVAC housing (footwell)—not always behind the glove box. Replace yearly in pollen-heavy or dusty areas. Signs it’s overdue: weak airflow, musty smell on A/C, or a visibly dark filter.
27277-6RC0BCommon US-built 3rd-gen element (also listed as 27277-6RC0A). Japan-built may use 27277-6RF0A—confirm by VIN.
Every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)
Inspect earlier on gravel or wildfire-smoke seasons. 2021 2.5L and 2022+ 1.5T use different elements, and a restricted filter on the turbo costs response and fuel economy.
16546-6RA0APR25DD airbox only.
16546-6RC1AKR15DDT VC-Turbo airbox.
Every 30,000–60,000 miles (48,000–96,000 km) (verify)
3rd-gen Rogues still use a CVT that requires Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-3 only. Heat, towing-adjacent loads, short trips, and mountain driving justify earlier service than the brochure interval.
Treat a timed drain-and-fill as routine maintenance. Many technicians recommend the 30,000–60,000 mile (48,000–96,000 km) window as real-world protection, especially on 1.5T models that run hotter under load.
Per engine chart
Iridium plugs last a long time but still wear—intervals and part numbers differ between the 2021 2.5L (four plugs) and the 1.5L VC-Turbo (three plugs). Confirm engine before ordering.
22401-6LD1CPR25DD only · qty 4. Supersedes earlier 6Cxx/6LBx listings on some catalogs.
22401-6RC1EKR15DDT VC-Turbo · qty 3. Not interchangeable with the 2021 2.5L plug.
Per manual · ~5 years
Coolant is Nissan Long Life—don’t mix chemistries. Replace brake fluid every 2–3 years regardless of mileage since it absorbs moisture, and check the 12V battery annually; most last 3–5 years.
AWD models
AWD Rogues have a transfer case and rear differential that are easy to forget. Inspect at the interval in your manual and replace fluid sooner if you tow, drive in deep snow, or notice leaks or drivetrain noise.
2022+ 1.5L VC-Turbo · all CVT Rogues
Nissan’s standard intervals assume mixed, moderate driving. Mostly short trips, stop-and-go traffic, extreme heat, dust, mountain driving, or light towing count as severe use—and the VC-Turbo engine and the CVT are the two components that suffer first.
The 1.5L VC-Turbo runs boost and variable compression, which puts more thermal load on engine oil than a conventional four-cylinder. Short intervals and the correct filter (15208-65F1E) are cheap insurance.

No. 2021 2.5L uses 15208-65F0E. 2022+ 1.5L VC-Turbo uses 15208-65F1E. They are not interchangeable—confirm year and engine before ordering.
Many owners change every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months with 0W-20 full synthetic—especially on the 1.5L VC-Turbo. Do not stretch intervals on that engine.
2021 2.5L PR25DD: Nissan 22401-6LD1C (qty 4). 2022+ 1.5L VC-Turbo KR15DDT: 22401-6RC1E (qty 3). They are not interchangeable. Confirm by VIN on parts.nissanusa.com.
Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-3 only. Never use standard ATF or a generic universal CVT fluid. A drain-and-fill around 30,000–60,000 miles (48,000–96,000 km) (sooner under severe use) is the best known protection.
Cabin filter: 27277-6RC0B (also listed as 6RC0A; Japan-built may use 6RF0A), replaced every 15,000–20,000 miles (24,000–32,000 km) or yearly. Engine air filter: 2021 2.5L 16546-6RA0A; 2022+ 1.5T 16546-6RC1A, about every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
Yes. Keep VC-Turbo oil at 5,000 miles (8,000 km) / 6 months, shorten CVT NS-3 service toward ~30,000 miles (48,000 km), rotate tires every oil change, inspect air filters more often in dust or smoke, and replace brake fluid about every 2 years.
