The Ultimate Nissan Service Guide: How to Keep Your Car Running Like New

Owning a Nissan is more than just driving, it’s about ensuring your vehicle remains in peak condition for years to come. Regular servicing and using genuine parts can help extend your car’s lifespan, improve performance, and maintain resale value. At Ringwood Nissan’s Service & Parts Centre, we are committed to providing expert care with factory-trained technicians and high-quality Nissan-approved components. 

 

Why Regular Nissan Servicing is Essential for Longevity

Routine maintenance is crucial for keeping your Nissan performing at its best. Regular servicing ensures that small issues are identified early before they turn into costly repairs. Some of the key benefits of scheduled servicing include:

• Extending your vehicle’s lifespan – Regular oil changes, brake inspections, and fluid top-ups prevent premature wear.

• Improving safety – A well-maintained car is safer on the road, reducing the risk of breakdowns or mechanical failures.

• Enhancing fuel efficiency – Routine maintenance helps optimise fuel consumption, saving you money in the long run.

• Maintaining resale value – A full-service history from an authorised Nissan dealer like Ringwood Nissan adds value when it’s time to sell or trade in your car.

Skipping services can lead to bigger mechanical problems and potential safety hazards. Sticking to Nissan’s recommended service intervals ensures your car stays reliable for years to come.

 

Key Nissan Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Car in Top Condition

Keeping up with routine maintenance between scheduled services can help you avoid unexpected repairs. Here are some key maintenance tips:

• Check your oil regularly – Engine oil lubricates critical components, preventing wear and tear. Low or dirty oil can cause engine damage.

• Monitor tyre pressure and tread depth – Properly inflated tyres improve handling and fuel efficiency while reducing the risk of blowouts.

• Top up essential fluids – Brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid should be checked and topped up as needed.

• Inspect brakes frequently – Squeaking, grinding, or a soft brake pedal are signs that your brake pads may need replacing.

• Keep your battery in check – If your car struggles to start or your battery is more than three years old, have it tested during your service.

By staying on top of these simple checks, you can avoid unnecessary repairs and keep your Nissan in excellent condition.

• Unusual noises – Grinding brakes, knocking from the engine, or a whining transmission could signal serious issues.

• Decreased fuel efficiency – A sudden drop in fuel economy can indicate a clogged air filter, dirty fuel injectors, or other performance issues.

• Strange vibrations or pulling – If your car vibrates excessively or pulls to one side while driving, it may need a wheel alignment or brake service.
