When Do I Need An Oil Change?
Regular oil changes are a simple and effective way to keep your engine running longer and stronger. When you delay your oil change or choose to forgo it altogether, you're doing serious damage to your engine. Most drivers choose to wait until their maintenance light pops on to schedule an oil change appointment, but there are a few warning signs to look out for that will signal your vehicle's need for an oil change far sooner. Our San Antonio Nissan dealership is here to tell you when it's time to get your oil changed.
How Often Should My Nissan's Oil Be Changed?
If you're experiencing these issues with your vehicle, it's time to get your oil changed.
- Clean oil is an amber color. After a while, the fluid darkens and gets dirty from all of the particles it collects from the engine. If you have dark or dirty oil, it's time to get your oil changed.
- Clean oil provides a thin barrier between engine parts that protects against metal-on-metal contact and keeps your engine quiet as you drive. If your engine is louder than normal or you hear a knocking, your oil needs to be changed.
- If you notice smoke coming from your tailpipe, check your oil because there could be an oil leak in your engine.
- If there's a strong oil odor in your vehicle, that means there's a leak.
