Five Nissan Service Essentials for Summer

Jun 6, 2023

Summer weather is heating up – and so are our plans. When you’ve got weekend getaways and adventures on the calendar, we encourage you to pencil in Nissan service first at Nissan of Cookeville.

Schedule an Oil Change

If you have road trips planned or are just driving more than usual, it’s a good idea to get an oil change first. All that driving can compromise your oil, and you don’t want to risk undue engine damage.

Top Off Your Fluids

Check these fluid levels and top them off or replace them if they’re due:

Transmission fluid
Coolant
Power steering fluid
Brake fluid
Windshield wiper fluid

Replace Your Windshield Wipers

Summer road trips often involve a lot of dust, debris, and bugs. And, of course, there are often many rainy summer days in Cookeville too. It’s a good idea to replace your windshield wipers so that you can easily clear your windshield whenever you need to.

Inspect Your Tires

Your tires need at least 4/32 of an inch of tread to maintain control on the road, especially if the surface is wet. You also want to check your tire pressure to ensure each tire is at an adequate level, which can help minimize wear.

Protect Your Vehicle

Did you know the sun can be harmful to your vehicle? Now is an opportune time to clean and wax your car; this protects your paint, which in turn protects your car’s body. Try to park in the shade whenever possible and use window shades in your windshield when you must park out in the sun.
