Why does my Frontier’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your Frontier firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Are Nissan Frontier engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Nissan Frontier engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Nissan Frontier engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I use water in my Nissan Frontier radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Frontier when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my Frontier engine suddenly stop?

Your Frontier car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
