Anchor Nissan Oil Change





 To properly maintain your Nissan  Juke, Versa, Altima, Sentra, Maxima,370z, Cube,Rogue, Morano, Pathfinder, Quest, Xterra, Frontier, Titan, Armada  and the GTR you need to change the oil and oil filter regularly.  Unless most of the miles you drive are at highway speeds for more than short intervals the oil should be changed every 3,750 miles.  Never should you go longer than 7,500 miles between oil changes.  Turbo cars should have the oil changed every 3,750 miles unless synthetic motor oil is used.

There are a number of significant advantages to synthetic motor oils

* Superior protection against oil breakdown for a cleaner running engine and long engine life
* Increased protection against varnishing and deposits
* More tolerant to high heat in turbo-charged engines
* Superior lubrication, reduces engine wear across the operating temperature range and optimizes fuel economy
* Reduces oil loss due to evaporation and burn off
* Low viscosity (0W-20) improves fuel economy, reduces friction and increases power

With the synthetic oil the recommended oil change interval has been increased to 7,500 miles. 

Checking the oil regularly is important as all engines use some oil in the course of normal operation.  There are many factors that can affect oil consumption.  Checking the oil at least once a month is good practice and once a week is better practice.  If you are not having your oil changed every 3,750 miles the chances are high that a quart of oil will need to be added at some point.  Keep in mind that as the oil level in the engine drops the oil has to work harder so it gets hotter and its level drops faster. Stop by our Nissan Service Department during regular business hours and we will be glad to check your oil for you.  Below are some links you might find useful.
