Add Years To Your Car’s Life With These Maintenance Tips

Cars aren’t meant to last forever, but they should be able to handle the road for many years. Parts eventually deteriorate or the engine begins to fail, and slowly your car will need more and more repairs to keep going. With the right care, maintenance and attention to detail though, you can extend your car’s life to its fullest. Here are some easy ways from Coast Nissan to keep your new #Nissan operating at full capacity.  We want to make sure your Nissan lasts for many years.

Follow The Service Schedule: It may seem simple, but many car owners neglect the mileage suggestions laid out in the owner’s manual. Nissan engineers built the car and know when it needs to have an oil change or get the tires rotated, so pay close attention to their suggestions. Car longevity all depends on keeping up with maintenance.

Routinely Check Fluids and Tire Pressure: Making sure your vehicle has the proper amount of oil, radiator fluid and brake fluid is extremely important, and it only takes about 10 minutes. You can check the oil levels using the dipstick while the car is cool and off, and the other fluids are stored in plastic containers that are easy to examine.

 

Wait 30 Seconds at Start-Up: A cold engine has almost no oil left on its moving parts, as it has all fallen down into the oil pan. It takes a bit of time for the oil pump to properly lubricate the engine again, so if your car has been off for more than four hours, wait 30 seconds before you shift gears.

 

Drive Carefully: While a few full-throttle accelerations or screeching halts won’t do any significant damage to your car, constantly driving like you are in the Indianapolis 500 will cause more strain on important parts. This can lead to more frequent repairs and more money out of your pocket.
