Boston Nissan Dealerships Offer Tips for Car Maintenance

The best way to keep your Boston Nissan in top quality shape is to remember to maintain it so it stays in good condition. The following two tips are useful for prolonging the life of your car, and are often overlooked or unknown:

Know When Not to Fill Up the Tank: There are times when putting gas in your Nissan could do more harm than good. If you should see the gas station receiving their gas delivery, for example, you should not use that station to get your gas that day. There are sediments in the underground tanks that hold the gasoline, and when the tanks are filled, they get stirred up. The first few people to get gas after the tanks are filled are likely to end up with some of those sediments in their car’s gas tanks. This can cause problems, poor engine performance and the need to replace clogged fuel filters or fuel injectors.

Keep Just A Couple Keys on the Chain: If you’re guilty of keeping several keys on your keychain, a number of store keychain-style membership cards, and photographs of your kids you may be putting your car’s ignition at risk. When your key is in the ignition, the weight from everything else is pulling on it and eventually can cause problems for the starter. If you have ever felt your key get stuck in the ignition when you try to turn it to start, it’s a warning sign that you may soon have a broken ignition.
