Nissan Oil & Filter Change

Motor oil has a critical role to play in the internal combustion engine. Heat is a by-product of a running engine, and oil lubricates the components to protect them from a damaging level of heat. It also carries away dirt and debris that build up as the vehicle logs miles, and those unwanted and abrasive particles are captured by the oil filter so that they don’t circulate back to the engine.

What Happens When You Don’t Change Your Oil?

Eventually, the oil filter will reach its limit and won’t be able to continue trapping the debris. The oil will become sludgy and stop doing an optimal job of protecting the engine components. With oil that’s not fresh, the engine has to work harder, causing performance and fuel economy to drop – and maybe even causing premature engine wear. This is why it’s so important to keep your Nissan on a routine of oil and oil filter changes. That works out to just twice a year that most drivers will need to schedule this quick and inexpensive service.

Scheduling Your Nissan Oil Service

If your Nissan is equipped with the onboard Maintenance Minder, it will show the percentage of remaining oil life on the instrument panel whenever you start the vehicle. This alerts you before you’re due for an oil and filter change, giving you ample time to schedule your appointment. The advantage of servicing your vehicle at Bernardi Nissan of Wellesley, though, is that appointments aren’t necessary: we have same-day service available. Remember that we service other makes as well – and many other vehicles have an oil life monitor that provides a similar alert.

We have a spacious customer area where you can wait comfortably while your vehicle is being serviced. The other upside of staying on the recommended maintenance schedule is that it gives our knowledgeable Nissan technicians an opportunity to look for any potentially developing mechanical issues. Identifying problems before they turn bigger can limit the damage – to the vehicle as well as your wallet. Plus, we only use genuine OEM parts and the recommended type of motor oil when we service your Nissan.

You can easily schedule your Nissan’s oil change using our online scheduling tool. You can also call 888-483-8603 to speak with a service advisor and make your appointment that way.
