Oil and Fluids

Your Nissan Altima relies on several fluids to maintain temperature and lubrication, and the oil needs to be serviced most often. Without properly changing your oil, it will be far less effective and can cause expensive damage to the engine. Your other fluids are almost as important, so have our service technicians check their levels and refill them as necessary at each oil change. This is also the perfect opportunity to have your air filter replaced if too much dirt has accumulated.

Brakes And Tires

Every vehicle relies on the tires and brake pads to move the car and eventually bring it to a stop, and a malfunction in either can impact your driving experience. Just by driving to and from work or school each day, the pads and tire wear down and become less effective. If you notice any issues with your brakes or a reduced fuel efficiency, bring your Nissan in to have these two components examined.

With the help of our service experts at Cardinale Nissan, you can extend the life of your car and ensure it is ready to tackle any challenge. You can even schedule an appointment ahead of time on our website to beat the wait.

Manage Your Car’s Fluid Levels More Effectively With These Easy Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Just like how the human body runs on water, a car like the Nissan Altima needs several fluids to keep everything running smoothly. Most drivers know to have their oil changed regularly, but in order to stay a peak performance levels other fluids need to be monitored as well. At Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey auto dealer, you will find exceptional Nissan car service and advice on how to properly maintain your vehicle.

 

Oil:

When the pistons of your car move in order to generate power, they need a lubricant to reduce wear and tear. As oil is used, it becomes dirty and less efficient, and can lead to permanent engine damage. Checking your oil levels is easy: simply pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, then insert and remove it. The level on the dipstick will indicate how much oil you have remaining.

 

Power Steering Fluid:

The power steering system makes turning much easier, and also adds to the car’s precision and handling. This fluid is usually stored on the passenger side of the car under the hood, and will often be labeled “steering.” Most cars have an opaque container so identifying the amount left is easy, but if not, simply clean the area around the cap before unscrewing it so no dust or debris enter the container.

 

Radiator Fluid:

Engine overheating can be a big problem during hot summer months, and radiator fluid helps prevent potential problems by cooling the engine down. Before you check the fluid level, make sure the car has been off for several hours and the engine is cold. Be sure to use a rag to unscrew the cap and then peer inside to judge the fluid level.

If you ever have a concern about your Nissan’s performance or any difficult maintenance questions, talk with any of our service experts at Cardinale #Nissan. You can also schedule service ahead of time or view any of our new or preowned models online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Increase The Lifetime Of Your Nissan With These Simple Tips

Nissan Rogue 2017 1

Every car you purchase is a significant investment, and as such they should be able to last for many years. Wear and tear is a part of driving though. Parts will eventually deteriorate, the engine can fail, and slowly your car will need more and more repairs to keep going. By treating your vehicle with the right care, maintenance and attention to detail, you can increase its lifespan. Use these easy-to-follow tips to keep your new Nissan in pristine condition:

Drive Calmly: Accelerating your car with the pedal to the metal or slamming the brakes at every light will lead to increased damage on important parts of your car. It puts added strain on the brakes and engine, which will need frequent repairs.

Monitor Fluid Levels and Tire Pressures: Liquids like oil, radiator fluid and brake fluid are critical to keeping your car running effectively and safely. Every few weeks you should check the oil levels with the dipstick while the car is cool and off, check tire pressures and look in the plastic fluid containers to see if they are full enough.

 

Remember the Service Schedule: Many car owners forget to bring their cars in for service after so many miles, but it is the easiest way to keep your car running smoothly. Check your owner’s manual for the recommendations that come straight from Nissan engineers, as car longevity is dependent on keeping up with maintenance.

 

Wait 30 Seconds Before Driving: Any engine that has been off for more than four hours will have almost no oil left in its valves. It will only take thirty seconds for the oil pump to properly lubricate the engine again, so give it the short time it needs.
