Your Nissan is a great vehicle, and you’ll want to keep it in perfect condition. The best way to protect your Nissan and reduce wear and damage is to perform regular maintenance. There are many different types of car maintenance, and as your Nissan dealer, we want to give you a few tips on ways you can keep your Nissan in top shape.
Ensure Your Nissan’s Longevity with These Essential Maintenance Tips
Test Your Battery
A dead battery will always seem to happen at the worst possible time. A battery has a lifespan of approximately three to five years. The chemical reactions inside the battery that allow it to store and supply electricity slowly break down, and this causes the battery to fail. Some problems in an engine can shorten battery life, for example, a defective alternator.
We advise you to get a battery test when your battery is three years old and then test it again yearly. Regular testing gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your battery is unlikely to let you down when you need it most. If our battery tester reveals a problem with your battery, we can quickly install a replacement for you while you wait.

Getting a New Car Battery for Your Nissan
Are you wondering when you should stop by the Nissan dealer for a new car battery? There are a few things to know about getting the battery replaced, including signs that you should get it replaced sooner rather than later.
How Often Do You Need a New Car Battery?
You’ll need to replace your battery every 3 to 5 years. The more you drive, the more often you’ll need to replace the battery. If you’re not sure when you last changed out the battery, then you should take a peek under the hood and inspect the battery case. The date your battery was manufactured should be stamped on the case, so you’ll know what year this battery was put in your car.

It’s part of the preventive maintenance you should be getting at your Nissan dealer. Safety and comfort in your car are always highly desirable, so let’s look a little closer at the benefits of getting your tires rotated.
4 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation at Your Heath Nissan Dealer
1. Your Tires Will Last Longer
Your front tires support more of your car’s weight than the back ones because the powertrain is located at the front of the vehicle. Plus, many cars operate in forward-wheel drive most of the time, putting more strain on those front tires. This makes your front tires wear down faster than the back ones, shortening their lifespan.
Regular rotations stop the front tires from wearing down faster than the back ones. Instead, your tires wear down evenly. You’ll be able to replace all four tires at the same time, as the front ones will have a longer lifespan than they would if your tires weren’t regularly rotated.
Does Your Nissan Need New Tires?
Tires are one car component that should never be neglected. If you ever experience the following issues with your tires, head to your local Nissan dealer without delay. With a fresh set of new tires, your risk of skids, blowouts, and other tire-related problems is greatly reduced. Your vehicle’s handling and performance will be bolstered as well.
Treads Are Too Worn Down
Shallow treads are probably the main reason that drivers replace their tires. If your tires make it to the end of their lifespan without suffering too much damage, the treads will eventually wear down to 2/32 of an inch in depth. This is the time to replace your tires. Anything below 2/32 of an inch is dangerous to drive on and is also illegal in most states.

If a problem develops in the engine, it will grow worse as time passes and can lead to damage to other engine systems. As your Nissan dealer, we can repair any potential problem for you. These are a few examples of issues that we can fix.
Blocked Catalytic Converter
Catalytic converters have been a part of every vehicle in the US for almost fifty years. The converter’s function is to change dangerous and toxic chemicals produced by combustion into harmless ones to reduce air pollution. A converter uses chemical reactions, extreme pressure, and high temperatures to change dangerous chemicals.
The conversion process in the converter produces carbon. Carbon gradually accumulates and can block the exit from the converter into the exhaust system. If this happens, engine gasses are forced back into your engine. These gases increase pressure in the engine and can cause the engine to stall. We can fix this problem by cleaning the converter to remove the blockage.
Does Your Nissan Need New Headlights?
Properly working headlights are an essential part of any vehicle’s safety system. Without them, it’s nearly impossible to navigate darkened streets, and other vehicles won’t see you coming. Fortunately, headlight repairs or the installation of headlights is a straightforward service that can be performed by your Nissan dealer. But how can you tell if it’s time for new headlights? There are several signs.
Is It Time for Your Nissan Dealer to Install New Headlights on Your Vehicle?
Your Bulb Is Blown
One of the surest ways of determining that your headlights have failed is to examine the bulb. If the bulb has visibly blown, you’re likely not seeing any light emanating from the headlamp, and you need immediate replacement. Headlights don’t last forever, and it’s normal for the bulbs to blow occasionally. But if your headlights need replacement more than once a year, there may be a wiring issue or another mechanical issue at play.

When you’re driving on a hot day, the temperature underneath the hood could easily reach over 4,500 F. A temperature this high can damage many sensitive engine components like the head gasket or numerous other seals and gaskets. Your Nissan has a cooling system centered around the radiator that controls this temperature. As your Nissan dealer, we want you to know some signs that you need to visit us for a radiator repair.
Signs You Need a Radiator Repair from Your Nissan Dealer
Coolant Leak
Coolant is essential for your engine. This liquid is a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze, and its purpose is to control the heat level in the engine. It does this by absorbing heat from hot engine components as it travels over them and transporting this heat to the radiator. Inside the radiator, the heat is removed by heat exchange. Once the heat is removed, the coolant circulates through the engine again.
Coolant is brightly colored pink, orange, blue, green, or yellow. If you spot a puddle in any of these colors underneath your car, your cooling system is leaking. We advise calling our service department right away, so we can identify and repair the leak. If you drive while you have a coolant leak, your engine can seize up and suffer major damage.
