Should I check my Nissan Cube motor oil level?

Can I change my Nissan Cube oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Nissan Cube. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
