It’s Time To Get Your Nissan Organized For Spring! | Albany, NY

Spring is in full bloom and Destination Nissan wants to help remind you that it’s time to top off your fluid levels! Spring is the perfect time to get your ride back into tip-top shape after the hit it took from the winter months! Plus, if your fluid levels fall below the recommended line, you could find yourself breaking down, overheating, or get stuck in some costly repairs. So to avoid any of the above from happening, this week’s blog is dedicated to your vehicle’s fluid levels and what they all do for your ride! The best part is you can use it as a checklist when making sure that you checked off all of your vehicle’s levels from majors like engine and transmission to simpler features like windshield wiper fluid! Check ‘em all and fill ‘em all, that’s our motto this week!    Get An OrganizerThere are many products that can help keep your trunk organized. The key is knowing what will work best for your lifestyle and having a designated spot for items. Shower caddies work wonders when it comes to storing a few small things or fluids for your vehicle. Bigger organizers can be utilized to store bigger items and/ or keep them from rolling around in your trunk.    Keep It Out Of Your TrunkDon’t get in the habit of tossing things back there, keep unnecessary items out of your trunk in the first place. Items like your purse, reusable shopping bags, or other small items can be kept up front for easy accessibility. Keeping these items out of your trunk will keep them from spilling over or piling up.    Contain The Mess Once your trunk is organized, try to maintain it. An organized trunk can guarantee that you’ll avoid spills, damage, and potential injury. Keep tie-down straps, pets, and cargo barriers in your trunk for those times when you need to secure something a little tighter or your pet is along for the road trip too.    Must-Haves For Your CarWhile you are organizing, it is important to keep your vehicle equipped with a few certain things.
  • Pen and pad of paper
  • Cell phone charger 
  • Vehicle’s owner manual, proof of insurance, and a copy of your registration. 
  • First aid kit
  • Jacket, hat, gloves, and a blanket
  • Spare tire and jack, and jumper cables

Servicing your vehicle is something every car owner has to do to ensure that your vehicle stays running in tip-top shape. We understand that not every car owner is a car expert, in fact, many of us just schedule a service appointment, drop off our vehicle, and pick it up when it’s done without really understanding what goes into maintaining it. But this week, Destination Nissan is here to help you learn more about your vehicle’s fluid levels and why it is so important to ensure that they remain at the recommended levels. So, check out your vehicle's levels, and be sure to schedule your service appointment with us if your Nissan is in need of a tune-up and a top off! Destination Nissan’s Vehicle Fluid Guide: Oil What it does: cools your engine, lubricates moving parts, keeps moving parts clean What to do: change it regularly (dealer recommendation) and check it monthly Coolant What it does: regulates your vehicle’s temperature. Where to find it: in a reservoir near the radiator. What to do: if the level is low (level is indicated on the reservoir) take the vehicle to the shop to get coolant topped up. Power Steering Fluid What it does: helps you steer the vehicle Where to find it: a reservoir at the base if windshield. What to do: same as above, if the level is low take your vehicle to the shop to get the fluid topped up.
