PA Car Maintenance Tips | Pennsylvania Nissan Service

Your Nissan vehicle works hard to get you where you need to go. In order to care for your vehicle and help it last, it is important to maintain it according to its specific maintenance schedule. But between maintenance services, if you enjoy working on your vehicle, there are a few things you can do to check your car every few months to make sure things are running smoothly.

The first is to change the oil and filter in your vehicle every 3,000 miles. Changing the oil is one of the most important things you can do for your car. Between oil changes, periodically check the level of oil in the vehicle. If you notice the oil is brown or milky brown, there could be an issue with the head gasket. You should also consider using synthetic oil in your car as it contributes to better fuel efficiency.

Another maintenance tip is to replace the following at the specified intervals:

Replace the cooling belts and hoses every 4 years
Drain, flush and refill the cooling system every 2 years
Replace windshield wipers every year
Replace fuel filter every 30,000 miles

In the wintertime when you are driving in the dark more often, it is a good idea to check your headlights. If they do need to be replaced, make sure to turn off the headlights while you change them out.

Following these few tips, along with getting your car serviced according to its maintenance schedule, will increase the lifespan of your vehicle and help catch any issues before they become major.
