1997 Nissan 240SX Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Nissan 240SX and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 240SX could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 1997 Nissan 240SX maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Nissan, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 240SX perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Nissan 240SX problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Nissan 240SX for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 240SX's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1997 Nissan 240SX be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Nissan 240SX battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 240SX stranded. Your Nissan 240SX won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1997 Nissan 240SX running newer, longer.
