Keeping your Nissan running its best is a year-round endeavor. It requires consistent maintenance to ensure engine parts move freely, are in good condition, and are free from debris. Your owner's manual will have specific service recommendations for the particular model you drive, but there are some seasonal maintenance requirements that apply to most vehicles. With spring approaching the Dunmore area, now is the perfect time to address the areas that took the most wear and tear these past winter months. Here's an overview of spring service recommendations from Tom Hesser Nissan.

Replace Wiper Blades

Winter weather conditions around Scranton have likely required extra use of your windshield wipers. This may have left you with dull and worn wiper blades. With spring showers ahead, it's important to check the condition of yours to ensure proper visibility and safety.

Check the Tires

Cold winter temperatures cause tires to lose air pressure. Therefore, you may have had to inflate them over the past few months, but you may find that they are overinflated as spring temperatures begin to rise. Driving on improperly inflated tires can lead to excess wear as well as compromised control. You'll want to check your pressure and also take a look at the treads. If they appear worn, it may be time for tire service .

Inspect Under the Hood

Finally, Wilkes-Barre drivers should have some things checked out under the hood. Belts and hoses may be brittle or cracked due to freezing temperatures. Coolant could be old or low. Filters might need to be changed. Any signs of brake, alignment, or suspension problems should be addressed.
