Importance of Regular Oil Changes

The oil in your Nissan acts as the lifeblood of your engine, acting as a lubricant that moves the engine parts around without friction. The oil also collects debris and moves the debris to the oil filter. Over time, the oil collects too much dirt and particles and will build up if not changed. This is why you replace the dirty oil with fresh, clean oil. Failing to have your vehicle’s oil changed can lead to serious engine problems and costly repairs later on down the road. Plus, regular oil changes help keep your Nissan running like new on the Spring roads.

Signs You May Need an Oil Change

Regularly checking your engine oil will help you determine if you are due for an oil change or if you can wait a little longer. However, sometimes it can be hard to tell, especially if you don’t check your oil regularly. Here are some signs to look out for that might indicate you’re in need of a Nissan oil change:

• Lower fuel efficiency than normal
• Check engine light flashes
• Strange or unfamiliar noises coming from the engine
• Smoke coming from the exhaust
• Oil change light is on

If you notice any of these signs, don’t put off your oil change. Schedule a service with Tom Peacock Nissan to get your oil changed on your Nissan vehicle as soon as possible. We can let you know how long an oil change should take and everything else you need to know.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil?

While the recommended oil change frequency has gone up in recent years, it’s recommended that you check your engine oil level at least once a month. Even if you don’t drive your car through Conroe that often, oil can still build up in your car when it’s not moving. To check your engine oil level, follow these easy steps:

1. Open the hood and find the oil dipstick. You can consult your owner’s manual if you are unsure where it is.
2. Take out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag. Then, reinsert the dipstick.
3. Take the dipstick back out and check where the oil falls on the marked meter on the dipstick.
4. If the oil is within the marked lines, then your oil level is normal.
5. If your oil is underneath the marked lines, then your oil level is low and needs to be changed.
6. Once you have checked the oil, you can simply put the dipstick back into the original location and close the hood.
