Nissan Oil Change Service At Maus Nissan Of Brooksville

Signs You Need an Oil Change

While it's always best to schedule oil changes at regular intervals, there are a few cues that can indicate that your Nissan is due for a visit to the service center, like:

• Decreased efficiency
• Performance issues
• Dark and dirty oil
• An oily smell inside the cabin
• Oil pressure light or check engine light
• It's been a while

Let's talk to that last point-you should be scheduling oil changes every 6 months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first. That's roughly twice per year for the average driver. If you can't remember the last time you had your oil changed, or you know that it's been more than one year since your last visit to the shop, it's time to schedule oil change service.

Note that any of these signs are indicators that your vehicle is overdue for maintenance. So, head to the service center at your local Nissan dealership as soon as possible.

Why Your Nissan Needs Oil Change Service

Engine oil is crucial and operating a Nissan vehicle with clean oil is even more imperative. See, as you drive, the oil moves around your vehicle's engine, lubricating its rapidly moving parts and regulating its temperature by dissipating any excess heat.

Over time, the oil picks up debris from around the engine, which can cause it to get dirty, sluggish, and less effective at doing its job. This puts your Nissan at risk of costly or irreparable friction damage or overheating. It can also decrease your fuel efficiency and affect your performance.

The good news is, scheduling regular oil changes can help to keep your oil clean, fresh, and highly effective.
