Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2018 Nissan Kicks? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Nissan recommends changing your 2018 Kicks’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Kicks may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Nissan Kicks. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
