A regular Nissan oil change is the best thing you can do for your Altima, Sentra, or Murano. Routine oil changes from the qualified Nissan technicians at Ed Martin Nissan will keep your car reliable and safe. You'll spend less on gas and repairs and drive your Nissan for longer. more Oil Change Intervals If it's been six months since your car's last oil change, it's time to visit your Nissan dealership. Nissan recommends oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months, depending on your Nissan model, year, and engine type. Routine oil and filter changes are extremely important to keep your engine lubricated, and a new filter prevents dirt and debris from reaching the engine.   Regular oil changes will also ensure your engine runs smoothly and your Nissan lasts longer. Check your Nissan owner's manual for the factory-prescribed oil change intervals or ask your Nissan technician for assistance. Old and Contaminated Oil Clean oil lubricates and protects your engine, but over time and with use, it becomes dirty and contaminated. Old oil doesn't lubricate the parts effectively, causing friction and wear and reducing the life of your engine. Check the oil often and if you notice the oil is not an amber brown but a dark color, visit your Nissan dealership for an oil change. Leaking Oil Various issues can cause oil leaks, from a loose oil filler cap and improperly sealed drain plug to an incorrect filter replacement or deteriorating engine gaskets. Oil leaks that are not addressed immediately can cause immense damage to your engine. If you see oily wet areas around your engine or brown puddles on the ground under your car, schedule a maintenance appointment at your dealership for repairs and an oil change. Tapping and Knocking Noises When the oil is old, or your car is low on oil and the moving engine parts don't get enough lubrication, the friction could cause tapping or knocking noises under the hood. Low oil levels could also cause lifters or cam bearing noise. When you hear these noises, you must get an oil change immediately. The Oil Change or Check Engine Light Another way to tell your Nissan needs new oil is when the oil change or check engine light goes on. When there's not enough oil or a sensor or oil pump malfunction, it will trigger the oil change light. If there's a more severe issue and risk of engine damage, the check engine light will go on. To prevent engine damage, it's crucial to take your car for an inspection and an oil change as soon as possible.   Change your car's oil regularly at the factory-recommended intervals and keep your engine running smoothly and your Nissan on the road longer. Visit Ed Martin Nissan today for an oil change to keep your car in excellent running condition. Image courtesy of Daniel Andraski via Pexels
