2013 Nissan NV3500 Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Nissan NV3500 tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. 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 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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. Browse Nissan NV3500 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Questions About 2013 Nissan NV3500 Engines

  • Why does my NV3500’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 NV3500 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 NV3500 making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Nissan NV3500. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

2013 Nissan NV3500 Tire Repair

Nissan NV3500 Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment.

Answers to Your Nissan NV3500 Car Battery Questions

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • 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, flaky stuff around my NV3500’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around NV3500 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.

2013 Nissan NV3500 Oil Change Service

You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

2013 Nissan NV3500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can cause the oil light on my Nissan NV3500 to illuminate?  Your Nissan NV3500 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.
  • Can I change my Nissan NV3500 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. 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?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your NV3500. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your NV3500's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your NV3500 can determine what kind of service it needs.

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

Questions About 2013 Nissan NV3500 Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Nissan NV3500 to drive with old spark plugs?  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 does a puddle underneath my Nissan NV3500 mean? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan NV3500 need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Nissan owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

2013 NV3500 Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2013 Nissan NV3500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your NV3500 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2013 Nissan NV3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your NV3500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

2013 Nissan NV3500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Nissan NV3500 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 NV3500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my NV3500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your NV3500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my NV3500's steering and suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

A/C Service for Your 2013 Nissan NV3500

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2013 Nissan NV3500 A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2013 Nissan NV3500 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 2013 Nissan NV3500’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Nissan guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Questions About 2013 Nissan NV3500 A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my NV3500 A/C?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your NV3500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my NV3500’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 NV3500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Transmission Services for 2013 Nissan NV3500

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2013 Nissan NV3500 transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 2013 Nissan NV3500’s Transmission

  • How often does my NV3500 transmission fluid need to be checked?  Caring for your Nissan NV3500’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.
  • Can Nissan NV3500 transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Nissan NV3500, 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.
  • Can I drive my Nissan NV3500 with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your NV3500 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.

Radiator Service & Repair for 2013 Nissan NV3500

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2013 Nissan NV3500 is essential for long-term engine health. Nissan recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Nissan NV3500’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, your 2013 Nissan NV3500 is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 Nissan NV3500 Radiator Q&A

  • Why is the coolant light on my Nissan dashboard on?  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 is causing my NV3500 to overheat?  If your Nissan NV3500 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 NV3500 radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your NV3500. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
