Nissan Service FAQs
When it’s time to bring your car to Bedford Nissan for regular maintenance, you can expect our experienced team to deliver the superior level of service your automobile deserves. And along the way, we’ll answer any questions you have about Nissan service. Here are the answers to some common FAQs.
What Type of Oil Does My Car Need?
Your vehicle’s motor oil depends on the model, year, and mileage of your vehicle, but we often recommend synthetic engine oil for many vehicles. We recommend contacting our dealership for confirmation, or you can download the MyNISSAN smartphone app and get the critical service info at your fingertips. Either way, you’ll be able to easily confirm the type of oil your car needs.
How Long Can I Ignore the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light?
Our advice is, don’t ignore it. Driving on low-pressure/flat tires can cause a blowout. At the very least, your tires will wear out unevenly. Poor tire pressure also causes your car to use more power to generate the same amount of speed, which decreases gas mileage. Keep the tires at the correct pressure, and when you’ve put around 50,000 miles on them, plan on visiting our Nissan dealership in Bedford, OH for a new set of tires.
How Often Should I Have My Brakes Inspected?
Whenever you bring your car in for routine maintenance, our service technicians can also check the thickness of your brake pads and confirm they’re in good condition. The brake pads are essential for stopping power, so it’s important to have them checked frequently—every six months or so. When necessary, we’ll replace the pads and rotors with genuine Nissan parts from our onsite parts center.
What is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation is the process of taking the tires off and moving (rotating) each of them to a different wheel. This ensures that all four tires will wear evenly, thus extending their lifespan. If you don't visit Bedford Nissan for regular tire rotations, the resulting uneven wear will hurt your car’s performance and efficiency.
