December is here and your friends here at Loughead Nissan want to help you make sure your Nissan stays in tip-top shape for the winter months ahead. As you know, the heart of your vehicle in the engine and the harsh winter weather can cause some damage to your engine if not properly taken care of. One of the best ways to keep your Nissan running smoothly all winter long is by checking your oil frequently. I know, I know, seems silly, but it’s not! Your engine oil provides lubrication to the many moving parts of an engine, which helps to avoid damage and keep your engine running smoothly. If you neglect to check your oil, you could run into costly damages. So take a peek below to see how to check your engine oil, and if your find you’re in need of an oil change, just give us a call or schedule an appointment online! We ensure we will get your Nissan back into tip-top shape and on the road in no time! 

Checking Oil: How To 

• Open the hood. Prop it so it stays open.
• Locate the oil dipstick next to the engine. It should have a yellow handle and/or be labeled.
• Pull out the dipstick and wipe it on a clean cloth or paper towel.
• Dip the stick all the way back in.
• Pull it out again and look at the oil level. If it’s in the middle of the hatched/indicated area, you’re good. More is better, less is okay, but if you’re lower than the area you need to get your oil topped up and have your system checked for leaks.
• Look at the oil quality and color. If there are a lot of particles or if the oil looks sludgy, you need to get it changed as soon as possible.
• Put the dipstick back in.
• Close your hood.

The time for feasting on stuffing and turkey has come, and although this year’s Thanksgiving might look a little different for many of us, your friends at Loughead Nissan want to assure there is still plenty of fun to have this holiday! If you’re among the many that are sitting Thanksgiving family dinner out this year due to COVID numbers rising, you’re not alone. And if you’re feeling kind of bummed out, again, you’re not alone. However, we have a list of fun alternatives to family dinner this year and some celebrations that just might become traditions. So take a peek below and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Alternative Ways To Celebrate This Thanksgiving:

Host A Virtual Thanksgiving Meal With Friends & Family

• Livestream your festivities with friends and family. This is a good way to see and talk with your loved ones without the risk of exposure. 
• You can start with appetizers – have each party explain what appetizer they “brought” and rate who’s was the best
• Once dinner is served, set the camera up to the table and feast with your family and friends. Feel free to share recipes or even watch the big game together. 

TV & Games With Household Members

• It’s no secret there’s a lot to watch on TV during Thanksgiving. If your staying home this year, watching TV together or playing games as a family can be a great way to connect.
• Watch Thanksgiving Day parades, sports, and Christmas movies at home.
• Find a fun game to play – pull out all your favorite board games and have a family board game night!

Black Friday Online Shopping

• Shop online sales the day of Thanksgiving and the days leading up to the winter holidays.
• Use contactless services for purchased items, like curbside pick-up.
• Shop in open air markets staying 6 feet away from others and wear a mask

Other Ideas

• Safely prepare traditional dishes and deliver them to family and neighbors in a way that does not involve contact with others (for example, leave them on the porch).
• Participate in a gratitude activity, like writing down things you are grateful for and sharing with your friends and family.
• Clean out your basement of gently used or new toys, clothes, etc and donate them this holiday season 
• Look up family-friendly Thanksgiving crafts 
• Have a bake-off! Have the kids help bake or see who can come up with the best dessert for Thanksgiving.

As a friendly reminder to those who are traveling this Thanksgiving,  be sure to check out the CDC guidelines to see how you can have a safe Thanksgiving for the whole family.

BRRRR! It’s getting cold outside, which can only mean one thing…winter is coming. Although we love the snow and holiday season, the harsh weather can be hard on your vehicle, especially if it hasn’t received proper maintenance. With the winter months quickly approaching, right now is the perfect time to double check and make sure you’ve completed all your winter service! Below you will find 10 simple services to get your Nissan ready for the winter months. See if you’ve missed any or start your maintenance today! As always, if you need assistance with your service, be sure to schedule a service appointment online or stop into Loughead Nissan today!

Tips For Getting Your Ride Ready For Winter

It’s Time For An Oil Change 

• Has it been 5,000 miles since your last oil change? Then it’s time for a new one!
• Oil tends to thicken as it gets colder, and if it’s too thick it won’t do the best job of keeping your engine lubricated.
• Figure out if your vehicle needs a conventional oil change or synthetic oil change 

Replace Your Wiper Blades

• When’s the last time you replaced your windshield wiper blades?
• Wiper blades tend to last no longer than a year. 

Give Your Battery Some TLC

• The cold weather can be tough on your battery. Be sure to check and make sure your battery’s posts and connections are corrosion-free and that your battery has all the water it needs.
• If your battery is more than three years old, have a certified repair shop test its ability to hold a charge.

Examine Your Belts & Hoses

• Make sure the belts and hoses get checked for wear and tear, as cold weather conditions can cause problems or make problems worse

Check Your Tire Pressure

• Your tires are extremely important to your performance, especially during the winter. 
• Making sure your tire pressure is correct is important for traction, which helps you stop, make turns, and drive without slipping and sliding 
• Check your driver’s manual for the proper tire pressure

Change Your Snow Tires 

• Most vehicles are purchased with all-season tires, which can work for some areas. 
• If you experience a lot of snow, ice, or other challenging winter conditions, then we suggest purchasing winter tires, which are designed for winter driving 

Check Your 4WD

• Chances are you hadn’t used your 4WD system during summer, which means it’s been almost a year since you last used it. 
• Be sure to try out your 4WD before challenging winter conditions strike to make sure your 4WD system is working properly.

Get The Right Antifreeze Mixture 

• Aim for having a 50-50 mix of antifreeze (coolant) and water inside your radiator. This will prevent the mixture from freezing even at freezing cold temperatures. 

Prepare An Emergency Kit 

• Store this stuff in your trunk during the winter months, especially if a road trip is in your future
• Include, blanket, extra boots, and gloves, extra water and food, including hard candies, an ice scraper, a small shovel, a flashlight, windshield washer fluid, a tool kit, jumper cables, a spare tire with air in it, and a first-aid kit

Have A Plan In Case Of A Breakdown or Accident 

• Breakdowns/ being stranded in the cold is no fun and can be scary. Be sure to make a plan to follow to help make the situation go smoother in case you find yourself stranded.

• Zoom parties are all the rage! Have a virtual custom party with your friends and family
• Having a Halloween movie night with people you live with

*Advice from the CDC

It’s crazy to think October is about to be OctOVER…with November right around the corner, it’s important to ensure that your Nissan is ready for whatever weather will be coming our way very soon. Yes, this means if you haven’t serviced your vehicle, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment sooner than later to avoid any issues down the road. However, this week’s blog is more focused on getting the proper tool to give you peace of mind on the road. Below you will find 12 must-haves to have in your vehicle before hitting the road this winter. So take a peek and get started on checking off your list today! And if you’re looking to upgrade to a more reliable vehicle, we invite you to browse our available inventory and schedule your test drive today!

Must-Have Winter Accessories:

Ice scraper and snow brush 

• With winter right around the corner, it’s crucial to have a sturdy ice scraper and snow brush in your vehicle.
• Whether you’re leaving work, the mall, the grocery store, etc, snow can obstruct your view, and just using your wipers to clear your view can be dangerous for other drivers when the snow flies off at them. 

Small/Collapsible shovel 

• Keeping a small or collapsible shovel in your truck can be a lifesaver if you find your vehicle stuck in the snow or if you have to clear a path to drive

Gloves, hats, scarves, etc.

• You have the snow brush and shovel, but now you need to actually use them.
•  Having extra gloves will be a lifesaver when you have to brush off your vehicle, pump gas, or even change a tire!

Blanket

• Doesn’t everybody have extra blankets lying around at home? Just me? Well, if you have an extra blanket, throw it in your trunk in case you find yourself in an accident having to stand outside, or experience a breakdown in colder temperatures. 

Emergency flares or reflectors

• Finding yourself stuck in the snow? Ensure other vehicles can see you with emergency flares or reflectors

Rock salt 

• Stuck in the snow? Did ice form around your tires? Gain traction with rock salt, sand, or kitty litter! 
• Spread the material near your tires and in your car’s path to get out of a slippery situation.

First aid kit 

• This is an all-year-round necessity, but it’s always good to replenish what you need in your first aid kit 
• Whether your passenger has a small cut or you’re in an accident and need to be bandaged up, a first aid kit is crucial to this list

Extra windshield washer fluid 

• Make sure your windshield washer fluid has antifreeze components to prevent it from freezing. Clearing your windshield with fluid will improve visibility in a winter storm.

Flashlight

• We all know it gets dark very early during the winter months. Having a flashlight in your trunk is always a good idea. 
• Whether you need it for maintenance purposes or even to feel safer when walking to and from your vehicle. 

Jumper cables

• Cold weather can affect a car’s battery. You can’t start your car if the battery’s dead, which means you won’t be able to use the car’s heater for warmth. Waiting for a jump start in the cold is not fun. You won’t have to wait as long if you have jumper cables with you.

Cell phone charger 

• It’s always important to keep your phone charged before hitting the road but with maps, music, and more, your battery can die quickly 
• Keep your phone charged up in case you need to make a call for assistance or need your maps for directions 

Water and non-perishable snacks 

• Breakdowns are never fun and sometimes happen in the worst place. This means if you find yourself stranded, waiting for a tow truck and it might be a while before you get help, having a snack to hold you over is always helpful

It’s car care month and your friends here at Loughead Nissan want help you get your Nissan service/maintenance completed just in time for the winter months ahead.
