Learn How To Monitor Important Fluid Levels In Your Nissan

Oil Change in SLO

The human body runs on water. It is essential to life and serves a vital purpose of hydrating us and flushing out any dangerous toxins. A car like a Nissan Altima also needs fluids to run, though cars need many more than humans to work properly. Everyone knows to get their oil changed after so many miles, but your other liquids also need monitoring so your car can operate a peak performance levels. At Coast Nissan, the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can show which ones are most important to check, and help you replace them.

 

Oil:

Your engine needs proper lubrication so its internal parts can freely move. Without a regular oil replacement, your oil becomes dirty and less efficient, and could cause severe damage. To check your oil levels, simply pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, then insert and remove it. There should be clear markings of safe oil levels.

 

Radiator Fluid:

A big problem with engines in the summer months is overheating, and radiator fluid helps prevent that by cooling your car down. Checking the fluid levels is easy, but before you start, make sure the car has been off for a while and the engine is cold. Use a rag to unscrew the cap and look inside for the level of the fluid.

 

Power Steering Fluid:

Today, cars have a power steering system that makes turning and using your steering wheel much less demanding, while also increasing the handling of the car. The reservoir for this fluid is usually found under the hood on the passenger side of the car, and is often labeled “steering.” Most cars have an opaque container so you can easily see the level of fluid, but if not, simply clean the area around the cap before unscrewing it.

Car maintenance can be complicated, so if you have any concerns about your car be sure to talk to our Nissan service experts at #CoastNissan. They will be glad to repair your vehicle and get you back on the road, so schedule an appointment today at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Reveals Unique Nissan Rogue Versions At New York Auto Show

 

The 2017 New York International Auto Show was one of the first major shows after the release of updated 2017 car models. Companies brought changes to and special editions of their most popular cars, and showed off some interesting takes on their vehicles.

A few of the models Nissan previewed at the show will be released in in limited quantities, so come down to Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo to see how you can own one of these unique creations.

 

The first #Rogue variation that the Nissan team displayed was the Rogue Dogue, a car that is tailored for dog owning drivers. Along with all the standard Rogue options like a hybrid engine, the Dogue has several built-in features that make car rides easy for pets. An extendable ramp leads to the trunk so your dog can walk into the vehicle, and there is a custom dog-bathing station at the back. This includes a water tank, hair dryer and drying vent so your special friend can get clean after a walk in the park.

Custom designed floor mats and kick plates feature the Star Wars logo, and there are unique cup inserts with the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire so you can show off your allegiance.

See The Sites That Played A Major Role In SLO’s History – Mission San Luis Obispo

Mission San Luis Obispo

The Nissan name was first introduced back in the 1930s, but the company itself has been producing cars since 1914. Nissan started over in Japan, but it quickly expanded to other countries as the demand for cars grew. Thanks to a tradition of hard work and dedication, Nissan has become one of the largest manufacturers in the world, and at Coast Nissan, we are proud to offer new and used cars to San Luis Obispo. The history of San Luis Obispo is also rich with culture, and there are several spots around town to experience it for yourself.

 

Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa

The best place to begin any history journey is at the beginning, and San Luis Obispo was founded in 1772 by the Spanish. They loved the rich-soil and the beautiful coast, with a perfect climate for growing food. A settlement was built and at its heart the #MissionSanLuisObispodeTolosa was constructed, serving as both a church and meeting place. Today, this iconic mission is a historic landmark that hosts several festivals and fairs throughout the year. Visitors can explore the historic architecture and learn more about the building that acted as the root of SLO’s history.

 

History Center of San Luis Obispo

Since its founding, SLO grew as a major supplier of crops and acted as a major shipping port for products on the West Coast. The SLO County Historical Society, originally founded in 1953, is dedicated to preserving collections and important cultural pieces from the city’s timeline. At the History Center of San Luis Obispo, you can enjoy displays of these pieces and embark on an educational journey of the entire region. From a gallery filled with impressive artwork to a research room stocked with information, come take an adventure into the history of the place we call home.

The Nissan Rogue Claims Title Of Best Selling Crossover

Nissan Rouge Award

April and May are big months for automotive manufacturers. Most 2017 models are released in late 2016 or early 2017, and these two months are the first test of how these changes impacted the car market. It takes around four to six months after the release of a car to estimate its potential, as you want a good measure of how well the car will consistently perform after some of the initial craze has gone down. Crossovers are one of the biggest markets to pay attention to, and the Nissan Rogue has recently become the top-selling non-pickup in America. Head over to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan, for a look at this incredible car.

 

Crossovers are one of the largest car markets in the world right now, thanks to their versatility. Both single drivers and families alike will appreciate the plentiful seating the Nissan Rogue offers, and its dynamic driving experience makes your morning trip to work more enjoyable. Crossovers like the Rogue also have more trunk space than a typical sedan without being as bulky as a full-size SUV. You will have plenty of room for luggage, sporting equipment for the kids and anything in between.

 

Crossover sales are growing even when the overall car market is down, and their affordability plays a major role in this trend. As gas prices start creeping up during hotter months, having a car like the #Rogue is beneficial for saving money at the pump. The Rogue even has a hybrid edition that gets an average 34 mpg and rarely needs to be refueled during city travel. The Rogue is also packed with safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring that keeps drivers and their passengers safe. Nissan’s whole suite of Safety Shield Technologies work together to reduce collisions and make driving easier.

 

For a test drive of the Nissan Rogue, or to check out the best selection of used cars in San Luis Obispo, come talk to any of our friendly sales staff members at Coast Nissan. We can help you find a car that fits your lifestyle, or you can browse our inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Is Still The King Of The Electric Car Market

Nissan Electric

When it comes to electric car sales, the Nissan Leaf has been the reigning champ for many years. It was one of the first commercial electric vehicles introduced, and through its affordable price and extended range it has consistently outsold the competition. Moving into 2017, several companies released brand new electric cars that looked to be contenders for the title, but none have been able to beat the reliability and affordability that the Leaf offers. Come see why a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan remains the top electric car on the market.

 

Since 2008, people like Jose Pontes have been measuring the global market impact of electric cars. He is the primary data source for several technological journals and articles, and his recent EV Sales blog looked at trends from January and February of this year. During this period the Nissan Leaf was by far the world’s best selling #electric vehicle, beating out big names like Tesla and Chevy. In fact, the Nissan Leaf outsold its competitors by about 8,000 units in these two months. This margin is expected to grow even more for the March and April data, as the remodeled 2017 Nissan Leaf was released during this period. The 2017 Leaf has substantially more range and a new cabin makeover.

 

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the Leaf has performed so well, but there are several factors that have contributed. Its biggest appeal is affordability, which is a big factor for people to consider when making the switch to an electric car. Nissan also provides several incentives with a Leaf purchase, including two years of free charging at the thousands of stations that have recently been installed in major areas.

 

To learn more about all the benefits of driving a 2017 Nissan Leaf, come have a chat with our sales team at your San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. From exceptional Nissan service to expert advice on a new car purchase, www.coastnissan.com is the place to go for all your car needs.

Learn How To Spot Problems With Your Car’s Exhaust System

Car Exhaust Problems

In any car with an internal combustion engine, including diesel engines, exhaust is produced from the reactions that occur while driving. As gasoline or diesel fuel enter your car’s engine, power is created by combusting them at high temperatures. This moves your car forward, but it also creates exhaust, which is composed mostly of nitrogen gas, water vapor and carbon dioxide. Your car’s exhaust system ensures that this gas is safely pumped out of your vehicle’s engine, and problems can occur if this system malfunctions. At Coast Nissan, we can help you recognize these problems and get them fixed as soon as possible.

 

The muffler and #exhaust system both play an integral role in keeping your engine clean. One of the most common car problem occurs when the system stops diverting exhaust fumes out of the engine. Instead, they slowly build up and cause the engine to deteriorate faster, so make sure your regular inspections check for these problems.

 

Another major symptom of a damaged muffler is a strong vibration or a sudden loss of power in your car. This could be due to a hole or leak in the exhaust system, and the magnitude of the vibration depends on the size of the damaged area. A hole or leak will cause your motor to operate at suboptimal levels, and could lead to lowered fuel economy and permanent damage.

 

One of the most important problems to catch before it becomes too serious is a failing catalytic converter. If you notice a sound while the engine is idling that is similar to a box of coins being shaken, the catalytic converter is most likely damaged. If this problem is not fixed quickly, it could end up costing a significant amount of money.

 

If you ever have any questions about your vehicle or just need your car inspected by trained professionals, head over to a coastal Nissan dealership. We offer fast and affordable Nissan service that works with your schedule, so come to www.coastnissan.com today.

Experience The Track Or The Highway In Your Own NISMO GT-R

It’s not often that a commercial car company develops a racecar that challenges the toughest competition, but Nissan has certainly embraced the challenge with its GT-R supercar. This car is a modified version of the 2017 GT-R, which you can find on sale today at Coast Nissan. With a 600-horsepower engine and a thunderous roar as it accelerates down the track, it’s not surprising that this car has earned the nickname “Godzilla.” To make this stunning car more accessible to everyday drivers, Nissan sent the model over to their NISMO specialists, who developed a version that everyone to enjoy.

 

Nissan’s NISMO division adds power and performance to cars that people love and transforms them into sporty machines. Nissan already introduced NISMO versions of the 370Z, Altima and even the all-electric Leaf, and with the GT-R supercar gathering attention from fans worldwide, it was an easy choice for the next project. The new #NISMO GT-R strikes a perfect balance between the hyper-customized supercar and the raw power of the base GT-R model.

 

Working with the already impressive 565-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine, Nissan installed numerous upgrades to the body for more precise handling. Along with the regular spot welds, the GT-R has had epoxy adhesive applied to several critical joints in order to ensure stability and create that razor-sharp handling that Nissan performance cars can deliver. It also features new front style fenders, reliable and sturdy 20-inch forged aluminum wheels and a unique dry carbon-fiber spoiler. Both inside and outside the NISMO GT-R has been adorned with a limited edition red and black color treatment that looks stylish and is sure to grab people’s attention. As Nissan put it, “The new GT-R Track Edition gives buyers a specialized model, one true to GT-R heritage and available only by special order.”

 

To learn exactly how you can be an owner of these special models, head in to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. Once you receive your new GT-R, we can help make sure it performs at maximum efficiency thanks to our variety of Nissan services, which you can find online at www.coastnissan.com.
