Getting the Most From Your Oil and Filters

At Weston Nissan, we know there's no such thing as simple or casual maintenance. We are, after all, dealing with your vehicle. That's why we treat it as if it were one of our own, whether you bought it from us or not. Still, there are aspects of maintaining your ride that even the experts at our dedicated Ft Lauderdale vehicle service center can't cover at all times. And that's where you, the informed reader, comes in.

Knowing when to change your oils and filters is key to ensuring your vehicle enjoys long and healthy life. That's why we highly recommend checking your cars oil every time you fill up your tank at the gas station. It only takes a minute to do, and it can save you a real headache down the road. To check your oil, simply pop the hood of your car, and lift the dipstick from the oil tank. This will give you a reading of how much oil your car is working through, and there are several other things you can check for too.

For instance, if you notice that your oil is bubbly or foamy, has a milky texture, or carries a strong scent of gasoline, then it may be time for a new filter. These traits occur due to water/fuel contamination, as well as oil levels being off. Either way, they're not good to see, and can be fixed by our team with no trouble at all.

Weston Nissan, located at 3650 Weston Road in Davie, FL 33331, just outside of Ft Lauderdale, hopes that these tips help keep you driving and out of the garage.
