The Importance of Oil Changes
Scheduling routine oil changes are important for the maintenance of you Nissan. By doing routine care on your Nissan, you save money in the long run by reducing the risk of costly repairs brought on by missing oil changes. Under the hood, all of the parts need proper lubrication to reduce the friction that causes overheating. Clean engine oil will not only improve your Nissan’s fuel efficiency but it will also help reduce the risk of overheating, grinding gears, and an expensive repair.

Checking Your Oil Levels
In order to keep your Nissan healthy, it’s important to check your oil levels regularly to help maintain a reliable, safe, and efficient car. It’s important to check your oil levels every few weeks and especially before longer journeys.
To get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm, at normal operating temperature, and the vehicle must be on a level surface. Review your Nissan's vehicle Owner’s Manual for the proper procedure to check your oil level. You’ll get a more accurate reading by following your vehicle’s specific instructions.
Choosing the Right Oil
When choosing the right oil for your Nissan, it’s important to know the differences between synthetic oil and regular oil. While your Nissan doesn’t require synthetic oil, it does ensure a better running vehicle that will last longer. Mobil 1 is the oil chosen by Nissan, but consult your owner’s manual or visit M’Lady Nissan to consult our technicians.
Benefits of Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oil is engineered from base oil, powder additives, and carrier oil. This combination enforces a more evenly distributed mixture of the additives to help the lubrication process. Like regular oil, synthetic oil should be changed out every 7,500 miles. Your oil filter should be changed with every oil change to ensure clean oil and optimal lubrication. With synthetic oil, your vehicle will function better in colder climates and in extreme weather as well! Other benefits of synthetic oil include:
- Uniform molecular size means less friction
- Refinement and engineering reduce deposits
- Additives boost protection and can clean engines
- Cleaner oil with fewer impurities
