The easiest way to ensure your Nissan always performs at its best is to ensure that it undergoes its regular Nissan maintenance. Your vehicle’s service schedule is listed in your car manual, and keeping to this schedule will keep it working efficiently. As your Nissan dealer, we want to tell you about some of the types of maintenance we provide for your car.
Radiator Repair
The radiator in your Nissan is responsible for removing the heat from your engine. The heat generated by combustion and hundreds of moving parts is absorbed by fast-flowing liquid coolant. The coolant then transports this heat to the radiator. Inside the radiator, the coolant enters rows of parallel tubes, and cool air flowing in through the grille flows over the tubes to remove the heat.
The radiator works under conditions of high pressure and great heat, and this will cause wear and tear. If the radiator is damaged, for example, it becomes blocked or develops a leak and your engine temperature will immediately start to rise. Sensors in the radiator will detect the increased heat and inform your computer, and the engine warning light will illuminate. We’ll examine your radiator and repair the cause of the problem.
Oil Replacement
Your engine depends on the continuous circulation of high-grade oil to enable it to work efficiently. The oil lubricates all the moving parts, allowing them to move more easily and protecting them against friction damage. Additives in the oil help to break down potential engine blockages and prevent the formation of rust.
Over time, the oil becomes thicker as it absorbs dirt and debris from the engine. The thicker oil moves more slowly and provides less lubrication, which can increase engine damage. We solve this issue by draining the oil, then removing the old oil filter and replacing it. Once the new filter is in place, we securely replace the oil drain plug and refill your engine with fresh oil.
Transmission Repair
Your engine generates large quantities of energy. This energy is focused by the transmission and then transferred to the wheels to enable them to move at the desired speed. A transmission is a very hot environment, and the constant flow of transmission fluid helps to cool the transmission components. This fluid also provides the essential hydraulic power that allows your gears to shift easily.
If your transmission develops a leak, its internal temperature will rise, and the transmission will display a range of issues, including strange noises, gear slipping, or refusal to shift gears. We’ll identify the source of the leak and fix it, then we’ll refill the transmission fluid.
