Helpful Nissan Maintenance Tips
If you want your vehicle to be reliable, safe, and last longer, regular Nissan maintenance is the key. If your vehicle is well-taken care of, it will give you years of driving pleasure. Best of all, it will save you truckloads of money on gas and repairs.

Stick to Maintenance Schedule

It’s really is that simple. Your Nissan will always perform at its best if you follow the factory guidelines in your owner’s manual and stick to the prescribed intervals. When you take your car for regular services at a trusted Nissan dealership, a qualified Nissan technician will spot minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs.

The added advantage of following the prescribed intervals is that a well-maintained car will also cost you far less. Plus, you will avoid costly repairs and replacements. Familiarize yourself with your vehicle’s owner’s manual and warranty to ensure that you know what the maintenance schedule and intervals and your responsibilities are.  
Change the Oil and Filter at Intervals

The factory-recommended oil and filter changes are every 5,000 to 8,000 Kms. This depends on the driving conditions, driving habits, temperature, and the type of oil your vehicle uses. You must adhere to the prescribed oil and filter changes to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is well lubricated.

Oil reduces friction that causes wear and ensures that the engine runs smoothly. Check the oil regularly to ensure that it’s at the correct level. Also, look at the color of the oil. If the engine oil is brown and milky, you need to schedule a maintenance appointment for an oil and filter replacement.
Ensure that replaced are performed

The following replacements are crucial for optimal vehicle performance. Make sure that your Nissan technician performs the required replacements at the factory prescribed intervals.
  • Replace the windshield wipers
  • Drain, flush, and refill the cooling system
  • Check cooling belts and hoses
  • Replace the fuel filter
Look After Your Tires

Inspect your vehicle’s tires regularly for wear and damage, such as bubbles and cracks. Check the tread depth and always make sure that your tires are inflated to the correct levels. You will find the PSI on the inside of your driver’s door. It’s also crucial to ask your technician to rotate your car’s tires regularly. Regular tire rotations will ensure even tread wear and prolong the life of your tires.

Regular Maintenance You Can Perform

The following tips are maintenance tasks you can perform to help you take excellent care of your car and ensure it runs optimally.
  • Fix vehicle issues as soon as possible
  • Perform regular fluid checks and corrections
  • Look for fluid leaks
  • Check the battery for corrosion
  • Check the tire pressure and tread depth
  • Replace ineffective windshield wipers
  • Wash and wax your car

If you follow these tips, your Nissan will be reliable, fuel-efficient, and last longer. When your vehicle is well-maintained, you will get much more pleasure out of your car.
