Spring is finally here and boy are we glad it is! Flowers will begin to bloom, birds will begin to sing, and we’ll all have to get started on our spring cleaning checklist! To help you get going on yours, Loughead Nissan has put together our top 5 spring cleaning tips! Check those tips out below and if you want your vehicle to be spring fresh inside and out, don’t hesitate to schedule your service appointment at our Nissan Service Center today! 

Loughead Nissan’s Top 5 Spring Cleaning Tips: 

Change out your winter tires.

  • Leaving your winter tires on during all four seasons can actually cause a lot of damage and even be dangerous. Once it looks like the coast is clear and we won’t be getting any more snow, set a day aside to change out your tire.

Wash your car’s exterior.

  • Wash and wax your vehicle’s exterior to get rid of dust, dirt, and salt that has built up during the winter. If left unprotected from the elements your car could be susceptible to fading paint, scratches, and rust! 

Clean out your trunk. 

  • Our truck is basically our closet on the go. We tend to throw a lot of useless stuff in there. Well, it’s time to rip off the bandaid and take everything out. Keep only the most important items, make some space for new things, and don’t forget to shake out the trunk carpet liner.

Clean the interior.

  • It’s dangerous to have your floors covered in clutter! Roll up your sleeves and take out any items that don’t belong! You should also check under the seats and vacuum all the dirt and dried salt. Don’t ignore your vehicle’s seats! Vacuum the cracks and whip down the seats as best you can! 

Take a look under the hood.

  • Under the hood is where the heart of your vehicle lives. Make sure that it is clear of debris and dead leaves! A clean engine prolongs the life of your vehicle as well as prevents any further mechanical issues.

Tis The Season To Change Your Air Filter! | Swarthmore, PA

Spring allergens are in the air and you may be feeling a bit congested, but just imagine how your car feels! Your car can’t blow its nose, so you have to remember how important clearing out your vehicle's ventilation system is and get it serviced when needed! If it’s been over three years or 30,000 miles, then it’s probably time for a new air filter; especially with the pollin-heavy months ahead! Take a look below at our reasons for routinely changing your air filter and bring your vehicle into Loughead Nissan for a service appointment today! Why You Should Routinely Change Your Air Filter: Increases Your Fuel Efficiency Studies indicate that replacing a dirty air filter increases fuel mileage on older, carbureted cars by as much as 14 percent. In addition, changing a clogged air filter can potentially increase acceleration, increase gas mileage, and help you save on fuel. Reduces Your Emissions Clogged air filters can reduce airflow to the engine and as a result, affect the emission control systems of the car causing incorrect air-fuel mixture and fouled spark plugs. This oftentimes results in an engine miss or rough idle, while also greatly affecting fuel mileage. It can also increase engine deposits caused by having too rich of a fuel mixture and will more than likely create serious driveability issues. Prolongs Your Engine Life Changing your air filter regularly helps prolong the life of your engine because the air filter is designed to trap dirt and debris that can damage internal engine parts such as the cylinders and pistons. Engine damage can occur from particles as small as a grain of salt and result in costly repairs.
