About 2018 Nissan NV1500 Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan NV1500 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway.

If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Nissan NV1500 engines.
  • Why are my Nissan dashboard lights on?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should.

Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my NV1500’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around NV1500 car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time.

2018 Nissan NV1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan NV1500 oil light illuminated?  Your Nissan NV1500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Nissan oil on my own?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan exhaust smoke gray or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

2018 Nissan NV1500 Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Nissan NV1500 spark plugs be replaced? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my NV1500? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often do Nissan NV1500 fuel injectors need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your NV1500 fuel injectors.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2018 Nissan NV1500

When you first bought your 2018 Nissan NV1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your NV1500 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Nissan NV1500 in for suspension and steering service. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2018 NV1500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan NV1500 bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my NV1500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your NV1500 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my NV1500's steering and suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

A/C Service for Your 2018 Nissan NV1500

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2018 Nissan NV1500 A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Nissan NV1500’s A/C system to see if repair work is required.

2018 Nissan NV1500 A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my NV1500 A/C? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your NV1500's A/C system.
  • What is causing my NV1500’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your NV1500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

2018 Nissan NV1500 Transmission Questions & Answers

  • Does my NV1500's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Nissan NV1500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Nissan. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Nissan NV1500 transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Nissan NV1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Should I avoid driving my Nissan NV1500 if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
