Choosing 2020 Nissan Frontier Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan Frontier tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. 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. Browse Nissan Frontier tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

  • How long should my Frontier brake pads last? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Frontier brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Should my Frontier be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Because your Frontier brake system is a closed hydraulic system, it should not leak brake fluid. However, if components in your brake system have worn out or been damaged, it might cause brake fluid to leak.

  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Frontier? A drivetrain malfunction in your Frontier should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Wheel Alignment for 2020 Nissan Frontier

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Nissan Frontier’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Nissan. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. Bring your 2020 Nissan Frontier in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Nissan’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Nissan Frontier Alignment

  • What can knock my Nissan Frontier out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.
  • When should you get a wheel alignment for your Frontier? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Frontier owner’s manual for Nissan's exact recommended schedule.

Questions About 2020 Nissan Frontier Engines

  • 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. This is just your Frontier testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Nissan Frontier making engine noise?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Nissan Frontier engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by 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.

Get Your Nissan Frontier Tire Repaired

If the road has been rough on your 2020 Nissan Frontier tires, Firestone Complete Auto Care can help.

Nissan Frontier Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Frontier engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Nissan's tires? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Nissan Frontier to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long. Using a temporary sealant may also void a Bridgestone or Firestone tire warranty.
  • What can cause Frontier tires to keep losing air? Your Frontier tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

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. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Nissan Frontier need high mileage oil?  If your Nissan Frontier has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!

Top Nissan FrontierCar Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Nissan Frontier battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? 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 Frontier’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Frontier 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.

2020 Nissan Frontier Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends having your 2020 Nissan Frontier’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Frontier may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2020 Nissan Frontier motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Nissan Frontier oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During an oil change, a technician will change your Frontier's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Frontier's engine.

2020 Nissan Frontier Oil Change Questions

  • Why is the oil light on in my Nissan Frontier?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Nissan Frontier oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Can I change my Nissan oil on my own?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan exhaust smoke gray or blue?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

2020 Nissan Frontier Tune-Up & Engine Service

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Frontier’s engine. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Nissan Frontier engine tune-up services.

The second service focuses on your Frontier's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Frontier’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 Frontier can determine what kind of service it needs. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Questions About 2020 Nissan Frontier Engine Tune-Ups

  • What happens if my Nissan Frontier spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Frontier? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Nissan Frontier. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan Frontier need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2020 Frontier Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2020 Nissan Frontier, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Frontier jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2020 Nissan Frontier in for suspension and steering service. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Frontier suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2020 Nissan Frontier Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Nissan Frontier to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Frontier goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Frontier tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Frontier 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 Frontier's steering and suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

2020 Nissan Frontier A/C Service Near You

Our technicians will work to solve your 2020 Nissan Frontier A/C problems to the best of their ability. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2020 Nissan Frontier A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2020 Nissan Frontier, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Nissan’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2020 Nissan Frontier A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Frontier A/C put out warm 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 can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Frontier’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.
  • What is causing my Frontier’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Frontier’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Transmission Services for 2020 Nissan Frontier

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Frontier’s performance. 2020 Nissan Frontier transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Nissan Frontier transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Frontier at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2020 Frontier services and perform them according to Nissan-recommended specifications. If you think there’s something wrong with your Frontier’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

2020 Nissan Frontier Transmission Questions & Answers

  • How often does my Frontier transmission fluid need to be checked?  Caring for your Nissan Frontier’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Nissan, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Nissan Frontier?  Yes. Nissan Frontier 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 Frontier with 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.

Vehicle Inspection for 2020 Nissan Frontier

When you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, we’ll automatically do a multi-point Courtesy Check. First, a technician will pop the hood on your Nissan Frontier and test the battery to find out how much charge is remaining on it. After we’ve inspected your Nissan Frontier’s battery, we’ll visually inspect your windshield wiper blades, lights, filters, hoses, alignment, tires, fluid levels, and belts.

Every service performed at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care will include a Courtesy Check, but we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 2020 Nissan Frontier if you prefer.

In some cities or states, you may be able to take care of your state inspection or safety test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. These inspections are governed by state automotive laws and may vary in different locations.

2020 Nissan Frontier Vehicle Inspection Q and A

  • How do I know if I should have an inspection on my Nissan Frontier? It needs a check-up if something feels 'off' to you, the driver. Your Nissan Frontier could benefit from a Courtesy Check if it has any illuminated dashboard lights, you hear weird noises coming from any part, the engine doesn't start sometimes, or your vehicle pulls to one side.
  • My 2020 Nissan Frontier 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’s the best time to have a complete vehicle inspection performed on my Nissan Frontier?  It’s generally a good idea to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Nissan Frontier before a road trip and/or when something strange occurs and you are unable to find the cause. Signs something is up include dashboard lights illuminating, odd noises coming from the engine, and your steering feeling loose or tight.

2020 Nissan Frontier Radiator Repair & Service

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2020 Nissan Frontier is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Nissan recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Nissan Frontier cooling system. Then, we’ll move on to a machine-powered coolant exchange. Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, your 2020 Nissan Frontier is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 Nissan Frontier Radiator Q&A

  • Why is the coolant light on my Nissan dashboard on?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What can cause my Frontier to overheat?  If your Nissan Frontier engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • What can cause a Frontier radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your Frontier’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
