2020 Nissan NV1500 Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan NV1500 tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

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.

2020 Nissan NV1500 Tire Q&A

  • Why does Nissan tire inflation matter? Even a tiny decrease in tire pressure could impact your safety and fuel economy. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan.

  • Can I check the tread depth on my Nissan tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Nissan NV1500 tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove.

2020 Nissan NV1500 Engine Q&A

Top Nissan NV1500Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Nissan NV1500 battery stay charged?  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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating 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.

Nissan recommends having your 2020 Nissan NV1500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals.

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.

2020 Nissan NV1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Nissan NV1500 oil light comes on?  Your Nissan NV1500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

  • How hard is it to change Nissan NV1500 oil at home?  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.

  • 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.

Questions About 2020 Nissan NV1500 Engine Tune-Ups

  • What happens if my Nissan NV1500 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 NV1500? 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 frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan NV1500 need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

2020 NV1500 Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2020 Nissan NV1500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your NV1500 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Nissan NV1500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

Questions About 2020 Nissan NV1500 Steering & Suspension

  • Why does my Nissan NV1500 bounce so much?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your NV1500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my NV1500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your NV1500 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 tire pressure and tread depth impact my Nissan's 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.

A/C Service for Your 2020 Nissan NV1500

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2020 Nissan NV1500 A/C problems. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2020 Nissan NV1500 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

While your 2020 Nissan NV1500’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Nissan's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

2020 Nissan NV1500 A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my NV1500 A/C? 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 causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your NV1500’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.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my NV1500’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your NV1500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Transmission Services for 2020 Nissan NV1500

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Nissan NV1500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Nissan NV1500 transmission issues your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or discover that your NV1500’s not even driveable. Our technicians know how to service your 2020 NV1500 up to Nissan-recommended standards.

2020 Nissan NV1500 Transmission Q&A

  • How often does my NV1500 transmission fluid need to be checked?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2020 NV1500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Nissan NV1500, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Is it okay to drive a NV1500 with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your NV1500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

An inspection can be especially beneficial before a road trip for the simple peace of mind. You can feel confident in your adventure!

2020 Nissan NV1500 Radiator Repair & Service

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2020 Nissan NV1500 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Nissan recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.

Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks.

Questions About Nissan NV1500 Radiators
