2018 Nissan NV2500 Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan NV2500 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. 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 an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan NV2500 tires online.

  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my NV2500’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around NV2500 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. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 Nissan NV2500

  • What can cause the oil light on my Nissan NV2500 to illuminate?  The oil change light in your Nissan NV2500 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Nissan NV2500 oil at home?  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.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2018 Nissan NV2500

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your NV2500’s engine.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your NV2500. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your NV2500's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your NV2500 can determine what kind of service it needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

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

2018 Nissan NV2500 Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Nissan NV2500 spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my NV2500? 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 frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan NV2500 need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2018 Nissan NV2500

When you first bought your 2018 Nissan NV2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your NV2500 bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Nissan NV2500, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your NV2500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2018 Nissan NV2500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Nissan NV2500 bouncing excessively? 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 NV2500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your NV2500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's 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.

Convenient & Local 2018 Nissan NV2500 A/C Service

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2018 Nissan NV2500 A/C problems.

Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2018 Nissan NV2500 A/C Systems

  • Why is my NV2500 A/C blowing hot air? 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your NV2500’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my NV2500’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your NV2500’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Transmission Services for 2018 Nissan NV2500

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your NV2500’s performance. 2018 Nissan NV2500 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

2018 Nissan NV2500 Transmission Q&A

  • Does my NV2500's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Nissan NV2500 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 NV2500 transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Nissan NV2500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Is it okay to drive a NV2500 with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your NV2500 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

FAQs for 2018 Nissan NV2500 Vehicle Inspections

  • How do I know if I should have an inspection on my Nissan NV2500? It needs a check-up if something feels 'off' to you, the driver.

  • My 2018 Nissan NV2500 failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? There's a good chance we can. Stop by for a full system inspection and we'll get to the root of the issue.
  • When should I get a complete vehicle inspection for my Nissan NV2500?  The best time to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Nissan NV2500 is before going on a road trip for the peace of mind.

Common Nissan NV2500 Radiator Questions

  • Why is the coolant light on my Nissan dashboard on?  Your engine might be about to overheat.

  • Why is my NV2500 overheating?  One of the main reasons your Nissan NV2500 engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • Why does the radiator in my NV2500 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?  Your NV2500’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
