I understand the service intervals are yearly for the more major service and twice that for minor stuff. Then if you are in a light-use situation you can cut that frequency in half.
My question is are those intervals based off of the original sale date of the vehicle or (in the case of, say, a lease return), does the clock start over on the second sale date?
For example, my 2016 S was originally sold (leased actually) in June of 2016, then I bought it in December of 2018. So this month is three years from the original sale date but only six months from the second sale date. Which service level (major or minor) should I be talking to my dealer about?
And yes I did ask the service department at both the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and a closer Nissan dealership, and they gave me conflicting answers: the first one said my upcoming service this month is the minor one, the second one gave the other answer (it'll be a three-year service and thus 'major'). The dealership where I purchased the vehicle included a free 'first' (six-month) service so that might be why they'd like that to be minor.
An additional/related question regards the annual battery inspection required to keep the battery warranty in force: am I due one this month or does the clock start over and I don't need one until December?
(I just searched and my major/minor terms are apparently also called full/intermediate.)
