Choosing 2016 Nissan NV1500 Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan NV1500 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. 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 an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan NV1500 tires online.

Engine Q&A 2016 Nissan NV1500

  • Why does the check engine light in my NV1500 turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your NV1500 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 NV1500 making engine noise?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Nissan NV1500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change.

Answers to Your Nissan NV1500 Car Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Nissan NV1500 battery hold a charge?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my NV1500’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around NV1500 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.

2016 Nissan NV1500 Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends changing your 2016 NV1500’s oil at regular intervals. Outside of Nissan-recommended oil change intervals, your NV1500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Nissan if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2016 Nissan NV1500 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Let the experts take care of your NV1500’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

2016 Nissan NV1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can cause the oil light on my Nissan NV1500 to illuminate?  Your Nissan NV1500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan NV1500 oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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.
  • Why is my Nissan NV1500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2016 Nissan NV1500

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your NV1500’s power on the road. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Nissan NV1500 engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your NV1500. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your NV1500. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your NV1500's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2016 Nissan NV1500

  • Will it hurt my Nissan NV1500 to drive with old spark plugs?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Nissan NV1500 mean? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How often should I clean my Nissan NV1500 fuel injectors? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your NV1500 fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

2016 Nissan NV1500 Suspension Service & Repair

During the first few years you had your 2016 Nissan NV1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your NV1500 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Nissan NV1500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your NV1500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

Questions About 2016 Nissan NV1500 Steering & Suspension

  • What can cause my Nissan NV1500 to have a bouncy ride?  Excessive bouncing in your Nissan NV1500 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my NV1500 front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your NV1500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my NV1500's steering and suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

2016 Nissan NV1500 A/C Service Near You

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2016 Nissan NV1500 A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2016 Nissan NV1500’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed.

Questions About 2016 Nissan NV1500 A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my NV1500 A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your NV1500's A/C system.
  • What is causing my NV1500’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your NV1500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

2016 Nissan NV1500 Transmission Service

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Nissan's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Nissan NV1500?  Yes. Nissan NV1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Should I avoid driving my Nissan NV1500 if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your NV1500 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Nissan?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my NV1500 to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Nissan NV1500 engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
