As spring turns to summer here in Virginia Beach, your vehicle starts to face climate-related stressors like high humidity and hot temperatures. Keeping up with routine Nissan service is important no matter the time of year, but this seasonal transition is a great opportunity to make sure that everything is running smoothly. Here at Hall Nissan Virginia Beach, this is what our experienced technicians will look at during your spring service appointment.
Protect Your Powertrain
Oil changes are an essential service year-round, but with rising temperatures, having fresh, clean oil is even more important. We’ll check your car’s oil level and condition, and if necessary, we’ll perform the oil change with the manufacturer-recommended oil type.
Also, driving on hot pavement can cause under-the-hood temperatures to increase, which can increase fluid degradation. Our technicians will inspect your vehicle’s transmission fluid, as extreme heat can change its lubricating properties and affect shifting performance. We’ll also examine all engine drive belts and cooling hoses for cracks or soft spots caused by heat and humidity. Catching these issues early prevents a sudden breakdown or costly repairs.
Underbody Rinse and Tire Check
One of the unique challenges of living near the ocean is that your vehicle is exposed to salty air and fine sand, which accumulates on the undercarriage and causes rust. Our spring checkup can include a high-pressure underbody rinse to clear away corrosive salt before it damages your frame or brake assemblies. Also, rapid temperature fluctuations can cause your tire pressure to fluctuate. We’ll ensure that your tires are at their recommended pressure, which helps with even wear and fuel economy.
