Fall is on the horizon, and with the fluctuations in weather recently, your tire’s pressure could be a bit off. Did you know outside temperatures can cause tire pressure to vary by as much as 1 psi per 10 degrees? And if you choose to ignore your tire pressure you could run into some issues that can cause serious damage to your vehicle and put your safety in danger. So, to avoid any issues down the road, be sure to check out the information below or schedule a service appointment today at the Loughead Nissan Service Center! Loughead Nissan’s Guide To Checking Your Tire’s PSI: If you do not have air at home, most gas stations have an air pump for you to use. Remove dust caps from the tires’ valve stems. Insert your tire gauge into the tire valve and leave it in for a few seconds When you remove it, the gauge will provide a PSI reading If the tire gauge’s recorded reading is higher than the manufacturer-recommended rating, press the gauge tip on the valve stem until you hear air leak out. Check the tire pressure again. If the reading is lower than recommended, you will need to fill the tire with air. When filling the tire, firmly press the air-hose into the valve, as you did with the tire gauge When you think you’ve added or let out enough air, check the pressure a few times with the gauge. Return the valve dust caps.

Are you haunted by the possibility of a dead battery this November? It's a concern worth considering, especially as cooler weather approaches. Now might be the perfect time to have your battery tested and your vehicle serviced to guarantee a smooth and trouble-free fall and winter season. Kickstart this maintenance journey in our service department with our team of manufacturer-trained service technicians. Before you schedule your next service appointment, explore the tips below and put them to good use. Don't let the worry of a potential battery failure weigh on you this winter – plan ahead and keep your vehicle running smoothly! Loughead Nissan’s Battery Care Tips: How To Avoid A Dead Battery The easiest way to put your mind to ease that you won’t be in this situation is to service your battery regularly to make sure there are no issues. This is exceptionally important when temperatures start to drop drastically or after driving long miles. A technician can test your battery to ensure that it’s still in a good, healthy condition. Be smart with your vehicle. Don’t use certain features like the radio, chargers, or lights for long periods of time without starting your vehicle. This puts a lot of stress on your battery and can end up killing your battery altogether. Avoid extreme temperatures if you can. We encourage you to park your vehicle in your garage (if you have one). This can cut back on exposure to extreme temperatures and won’t be the mortality of your battery. What Caused My Dead Battery Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers or the radio on when your vehicle isn’t running. Using the air conditioner or heat when your vehicle isn’t running. Low air temperatures, causing your battery to freeze. Lack of battery maintenance. Not starting your vehicle for long periods of time. Failure of voltage regulator within the alternator. What To Do When Your Battery Dies Of course, the first answer is to jump-start your vehicle. It’s always a great idea to keep a set of jumper cables inside your vehicle for emergencies whether that is you or another driver. Also, keep in mind that you should NEVER try to jump start a battery if it is cracked or visibly leaking acid. Roadside assistance is a beautiful thing and is almost necessary. If you do find yourself stranded and in need of help, be sure to call roadside assistance for help. This is especially helpful if you are on the highway and can’t flag down another driver. Plus, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle while a trained professional addresses the situation.

Last week, we taught you how to change the coolant in your ride! And while we’re sure you did a great job, there are a few things to look out for with your ride! This week we’ve put together a color guide so you know what to look out for to keep your ride running smoothly! Check out Loughead Nissan’s color guide to your vehicles leaking fluid so you can diagnose the issue with ease! And in the unfortunate event that the leak is something serious, conveniently schedule your service appointment at Loughead Nissan’s Service Center today! Loughead Nissan’s Color Guide To Fluid Leaks Clear: This is usually water from the air conditioning building up excess condensation and resulting in puddles of water underneath your vehicle. Unless this problem persists in great quantities, you’ve got nothing to worry about! Yellow, Green, or Pink: Due to their bright colors, these leaks are usually easy to spot. If your vehicle is an older model and there are only a few spots here and there it’s not something to worry about. But, if there are larger puddles of this fluid or your vehicle is newer, this coolant shouldn’t be dripping any excess liquids so it might be a good idea to bring it in to a professional. Orange: If there is orange/reddish-brown fluid leaking from the center of your vehicle, it could be transmission fluid. However, rust from your radiator mixing with an antifreeze leak can appear orange-ish as well, but can leak from multiple spots so placement is a key determining factor with this one. Red(ish): Power steering fluid appears red in color with a thin texture and will leak from under the front part of your car. If this is the case, there is an issue with the power steering pump and you should seek out a service professional. Light yellow to dark brown: Brake fluid starts out as a clear/yellow color and as it ages it becomes dark brown, similar to motor oil. Distinguish between the two by dipping your finger in it. If the fluid feels slippery, it’s likely brake fluid. If this is the case, your vehicle is not safe to drive and you’re going to want to have it towed it in for repair as soon as possible. LIght brown to black: If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a brownish/black color with an iridescent hue, chances are its motor oil. This can leak from various spots of your vehicle and won’t stop your vehicle dead, but it means that there is an ongoing issue and you should bring your vehicle in for a professional examination
