Change the Oil at the Recommended Intervals
The oil in your vehicle keeps the moving parts lubricated and reduces friction that causes wear. Regular oil changes will ensure that your vehicle’s engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Generally, the oil in your Nissan should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every six months. If you tow a trailer, drive on dirt roads, and in heavy traffic, change the oil more often, or ask your Nissan technician for the best oil change intervals for your driving conditions.
Check the oil at regular intervals and top it off if necessary to keep it at the correct level. If you notice that the oil is a darker brown or milky, it’s best to ask your technician to perform an oil change.
Get Regular Brake System Inspections
Regular brake system inspections are vital to ensure your safety on the road. Don’t wait for the high-pitched squealing or the horrible grinding noises before you schedule a brake system service. If your Nissan technician regularly inspects your brake system, you shouldn’t have to worry about failing brakes or brake system issues. Having regular brake inspections should help keep your vehicle’s brakes in excellent working order.
Look After Your Tires
Tires are expensive, but they will last longer if you take care of them. Check the tread depth on your car’s tires regularly. Look for signs of wear and damage such as bulges and cracks, and keep the tires inflated to the correct PSI.
The recommended tire pressure levels for your car’s tires are on the inside of your driver’s door and in your owner’s manual. If you ask your technician to rotate the tires every time the oil is changed, they should wear evenly, and you should not have to replace them as often.
Perform Monthly Maintenance Tasks
There are checks and tasks you can perform yourself to ensure that your car stays in good working condition. Perform the following tasks at least once or twice a month:
- Check all fluid levels and perform top-offs if necessary
- Check the battery
- Inspect the tires for wear
- Check the tire pressure
- Wash your car at least every two weeks
