Tips for Extending the Life of Your Used Nissan Passenger Van

Whether you need a Nissan passenger van for family, friends, or business, we know it’s one you count on. Naturally, you want to make sure it’s reliable. While there’s no doubt these are quality vehicles, we suggest you follow these tips from Woodhouse Nissan Bellevue to ensure it lasts.

Pay Attention to Your Recommended Maintenance Schedule

Routine service is undoubtedly the best way that you can protect your vehicle and increase its lifespan. It’s important to review your owner’s manual and see the recommended maintenance for your van. Pay close attention to the schedule – the maintenance tasks need to be completed at the appropriate mileage intervals.

• Engine oil change and filter replacement
• Tire rotation
• Brake pad replacement
• Check and fill fluids under the hood
• Windshield wiper replacement
• Multi-point inspection

Drive with Caution

The way you drive has a huge impact on your vehicle. This is particularly true when you drive a large vehicle like a Nissan passenger van. Keep a safe distance from other traffic on the road.

Avoid rapidly accelerating and decelerating. Try to coast to a stop, when possible, instead of slamming on the brakes. This helps protect your brakes and tires, as well as minimizes undue wear.

Unload All That Heavy Cargo

Naturally, a Nissan passenger van is designed to carry extra weight. It can hold up to 12 passengers comfortably. It can also hold a whopping 218.9 cubic feet of cargo instead if you prefer.

While your van is perfectly capable of hauling heavy supplies, it’s important to unload as soon as you can. Frequently carrying heavy loads can be hard on your van over time.
