How to Prepare for a Road Trip: Your Nissan Checklist

Thursday, May 22nd, 2025

Whether you’re planning a weekend escape to Starved Rock, a family visit to Naperville’s Riverwalk, or a scenic drive along Lake Michigan, getting your car road-trip ready is the key to keeping things stress-free. At Glendale Nissan, we want your summer adventures to not only be unforgettable, but safe too. Here’s your essential guide to Nissan road trip prep, with service tips, packing ideas, and even our picks for some of the best cars for a road trip.

Start with a Pre-Trip Vehicle Inspection

Before you even start packing, it’s smart to have your Nissan checked out by certified technicians. A pre-trip inspection gives you peace of mind and helps avoid surprise breakdowns far from home. The technicians at our Nissan service center in Glendale Heights know what to look for and can catch small issues before they become big problems. 

  • Oil change and filter replacement
  • Tire inspection, rotation, and pressure check
  • Brake inspection for safety and stopping power
  • Battery check, especially important for older vehicles
  • Fluid top-offs (coolant, wiper fluid, transmission, etc.)

Even something as simple as a windshield wiper replacement can make a huge difference when you’re navigating unexpected summer storms within DuPage County.

Pack Smart: What to Bring Along

Knowing how to prepare for a road trip goes beyond vehicle maintenance. Here’s what to bring to keep everyone happy and safe:

  • Emergency kit (jumper cables, flashlight, first aid supplies)
  • Phone chargers and power banks
  • Paper maps (because cell service isn’t guaranteed in all areas)
  • Snacks, water, and reusable utensils
  • Sun protection (sunglasses, hats, sunscreen)
  • Entertainment for kids: books, games, and downloaded shows

If you’re heading to places like Illinois Beach State Park or exploring downtown Naperville, don’t forget sunscreen and bug spray, too.

Make Sure Your Nissan is Ready for the Long Haul

If you’re planning some big road trips this summer—or hitting the highway regularly—you might be thinking about upgrading your current vehicle. Maybe your car’s starting to show its age, or the miles are piling up and reliability just isn’t what it used to be. When your vehicle struggles to keep up, especially on long drives, it might be time for something newer and more road-trip-ready.

At Glendale Nissan, we offer a wide range of dependable options that are built for comfort, safety, and the open road. The Nissan Altima is a smart pick for fuel-conscious travelers who still want tech and comfort. Need more space? The Nissan Rogue gives families room to stretch out and pack everything they need. For a little more luxury and power, the Nissan Murano offers a smooth ride with upscale features that make longer drives feel effortless.

How to Maintain Your Vehicle in the New Year

Wednesday, January 29th, 2025

As the new year begins, it’s a perfect time to consider maintaining your vehicle. Our team at Glendale Nissan is here to help you prioritize those infrequent services that keep your car running smoothly. While regular checks like oil changes and tire rotations might be fresh in your mind, other, less frequent tasks are equally important.

Change Your Cabin Air Filter

A fresh cabin air filter improves the air quality inside your car and aids in the efficiency of your HVAC system. It’s a service that’s often overlooked but can make a world of difference. 

We recommend checking your vehicle’s owner manual for the specific replacement interval, but typically, this service should be done every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. If you haven’t recently replaced your cabin air filter, now is a great time to do so at our Nissan service center.

Inspect the Timing Belt

The timing belt plays a crucial role in the operation of your engine. Over time, it can wear out and break, leading to costly repairs. Check your manual for the recommended replacement cycle, often between 60,000 to 100,000 miles. If you’re nearing this mileage, schedule a service with us to inspect and potentially replace your timing belt.

Check Coolant and Brake Fluids

Fluids like coolant and brake fluid don’t need frequent changing, but they are vital for your car’s performance and safety. Our Nissan maintenance experts suggest checking these fluids as they can degrade over time, affecting your vehicle’s cooling and braking systems. You might not need a complete fluid flush, but a top-off or inspection could prevent future issues.

Rotate and Balance Tires

While tire rotation is likely part of your regular Nissan maintenance routine, balancing might not be. Uneven wear can lead to a rough ride and shorten your tires’ lifespan. To maximize the life of your tires and ensure safety, it’s important to balance them regularly. If it’s been a while, come see us at the Nissan service center.

Upgrade Your Windshield Wipers

Windshield wipers are critical for clear visibility and safety on the road, especially after the wear of winter weather. It’s wise to check them early in the year and replace them if they streak or skip. This small change can significantly improve driving safety during rain or snow.

Examine the Exhaust System

A winter of salt and moisture can lead to corrosion in the exhaust system. Early in the year is an excellent time to check for any leaks or rust that could interfere with performance. A quick inspection at our Nissan service center can save you from costly repairs down the road.

Take Advantage of Our Service Specials

At Glendale Nissan, we understand that maintaining your vehicle can be expensive. That’s why we offer various service specials throughout the year to help you save on essential services.

Head to the Glendale Nissan Service Center

For these services and more, call Glendale Nissan. Our experienced team is ready to help you make this new year the one where you get ahead of your Nissan maintenance. 

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Schedule your service online to ensure your vehicle is in top condition.

Meet the 2025 Nissan Frontier – the Towing Master

Wednesday, January 29th, 2025

The 2025 Nissan Frontier may only be a mid-size pickup, but it definitely punches above its weight on the road. It more than meets the needs of modern drivers and combines strength, innovation, and durability in equal measures. Also, this attractive vehicle has exceptional towing capacity for leisure or business use, while being packed with a variety of towing aids. 

So, what do you need to know about one of these new Nissan trucks?

Towing for the Serious Motorist

The Nissan Frontier’s towing capacity is one of the big plus points of this remarkable truck. After all, it has a 3.8-liter V6 engine under the hood, which gives 310 HP and 281 lbs./ft of torque. With available power like this, the Frontier is more than ready for serious hauling, with a towing capacity of up to 6,720 lbs. 

You’ll find that these figures make the Frontier one of the most capable trucks in this category and well worth your consideration.

Equipment to Take the Strain

The Frontier comes with a class 4 tow hitch receiver. It’s able to accommodate a variety of hitch-mounted accessories, such as a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount. These pieces of equipment are made from heavy-duty steel and designed to withstand the stresses and strains associated with towing. 

You’ll certainly be able to make the most of this Nissan truck towing capacity, whether you use your rig for work, recreation, or long-distance travel.

Perfect for any Towing Needs

Many people need to be able to tow something these days, whether they’re professionals or not. For example, contractors may need to tow a utility trailer so they can access their tools and supplies at work. A landscaper may need to transport mowers or other gear in a single trip, to save them a lot of time and effort.

If you’re in charge of a family or simply an adventurer, towing capability gives you a world of options. You can hitch up your large camper for a road trip to Wisconsin or tow a pair of jet skis to Lake Michigan for fun.

Stability and Helpful Functionality

Nissan wants to make your towing experience as easy and as pleasurable as possible. To that end, the company has fitted an electronic stability program system to many models, including Frontier. Now, when you tow your boat or car, you can take advantage of the trailer sway control function. If the electronic brain detects any unwanted trailer sway through the sensors, it will automatically apply the brakes to individual wheels. This should smooth out the wobble and get you on your way again.

It’s also quite easy to get your journey underway as the Frontier has an intelligent around-view monitor. This gives you a clear, 360° view on your dashboard so you can perfectly align your trailer each and every time.

Buy Your 2025 Nissan Frontier at Glendale Nissan

Your End-of-Year Nissan Maintenance Checklist 2024

Tuesday, January 7th, 2025

As 2024 winds down, we at Glendale Nissan understand the importance of starting the new year fresh. This includes ensuring that any vehicle we drive ourselves and our family in is safe, reliable, and will stand the test of time.

To help you achieve this, we’ve put together a quick end-of-year Nissan maintenance checklist so that you’ll be well-equipped to start the new year with a vehicle that’s in top condition. 

End-of-Year Vehicle Preparedness

Winter brings a host of challenges. Icy roads, heavy snowfall, and freezing temperatures all significantly impact your vehicle’s safety and performance. So, being proactive with your car maintenance is crucial for ensuring your vehicle is winter-ready:

Check Your Tires

Assess your tire treads. This is especially important when driving in snowy conditions because if your tire treads aren’t deep enough, you won’t get enough traction on the road. 

Tire treads should be at least 2/32 of an inch deep to be considered safe, but for winter driving, it’s recommended to have treads at least 4/32 of an inch deep to ensure adequate traction on snow and ice.

To assess the depth of your tire treads, you can use the simple penny test:

  1. Insert a penny into the tread groove. The Lincoln’s head needs to be facing downward.
  2. If the top of Lincoln’s head is visible above the tread, the tread is less than 2/32 of an inch, so the tire needs replacing.
  3. For a more thorough check, especially in preparation for winter, use a quarter in the same way. Suppose the top of Washington’s head is visible. If that’s the case, the tread depth is less than 4/32 of an inch, which could suggest the tires don’t offer optimal safety for winter conditions.

Brake Inspection

You need to know you can stop your car, especially in winter conditions. The end of the year means brake pad inspection, replacing worn pads, and checking brake fluid levels are correct. 

Multipoint Inspection

This comprehensive check covers all the crucial areas of your vehicle. So, it goes a long way towards identifying potential issues before they become major problems. 

It includes checking the steering, drive belt, windshield wipers, suspension, engine performance, lights, heater/air conditioning, drive belt, and more, ensuring that your vehicle is in top condition for the year ahead. It’s also important to check that your muffler/exhaust fully functions and that your front end is aligned. 

A thorough end-of-year check will go a long way to keep your vehicle safe and running throughout the following year. This is essential for improving your Nissan’s safety, longevity, and performance. 

Nissan Repairs Now Mean Year-Round Performance

Here at our Nissan service center, we do our utmost to ensure that driving your vehicle is worry-free. We want you to know that your car is reliable, safe and withstands the test of time. We have our customers’ best interests at heart and are here to ensure your vehicle is fully prepared for the year ahead.

Stay Safe This Winter with These Icy Road Driving Tips

Thursday, December 12th, 2024

We’ve all been there—those icy days when you have to hit the road, but the weather seems determined to make it a challenge. Snow can turn even a short drive into a nerve-wracking experience. So, to help you navigate winter’s worst with confidence, we’ve put together essential tips for staying safe on icy roads:

Prepare Your Vehicle

Book your vehicle for a winter Nissan maintenance check to get ahead of the season. Your technician will ensure your tires are properly inflated, the pressure is accurate, and the tread is deep enough for safe winter driving. 

It’s just as important to inspect your battery for corrosion and secure connection points. Also, check your brakes, including their pads and fluid levels. Double-check that everything is in top condition.

All this will be checked by our fully Nissan-qualified technicians. They’ll also review any other aspects of your vehicle that may need attention, such as transmission fluid and front-end wheel alignment. 

Drive With Caution

If it’s icy or snowy, drive with care. This includes gradual and slower acceleration and deceleration while driving in as low a gear as possible. If you go too fast, your tires may lose traction. Also, give yourself more distance to stop when there’s ice on the road. Brake earlier and slowly, leaving plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you. 

Remember to drive even slower around corners and on winding roads, and keep an eye out for snow plows ahead. If you’re unsure of your tire grip on icy surfaces, gently test it out in a quiet and safe place by braking. 

If you feel like your steering is off, that’s a warning sign. You may need to book your vehicle for a tire grip check or invest in some Nissan winter tires. 

Know Your Ice

There are different kinds of ice to be aware of while driving:

Wet Ice

This freezing rain can be slippery when driving because you have less grip on your tires, even when they are Nissan winter tires, so try to avoid roads that aren’t salted or sanded. 

Glaring Ice

This ice has a smooth, glassy, slippery surface and can be found in patches where the road is clear elsewhere. If you see it, don’t brake once you’re on it, and avoid sudden movements with the steering wheel. Instead, brake before you get to it.

Lastly, if you’re on an icy and potentially slippery road, do not use cruise control because this can result in your vehicle slipping or skidding. 

Prepare Yourself

Pack an emergency bag containing extra thermal layers, water, and non-perishable food. Make sure you have an ice scraper, de-icer spray, a flashlight, blankets, and a first-aid kit on hand, just in case.

Get Your Nissan Vehicle Winter Ready with Expert Nissan Maintenance

Thursday, December 12th, 2024

It’s official – winter is in full swing. With colder days and nights, it’s important to book your Nissan for some pre-winter care and attention.

We’ve put together a guide to some common winter problems that can be easily avoided by booking your car in for Nissan maintenance. 

Equip Nissan Winter Tires

Have you had your tires checked recently? It’s essential to ensure your tire tread is deep enough to drive in snowy on and off-road conditions. 

You could also think about replacing your regular tires with Nissan winter tires for the colder months for better grip and handling when you’re on the road. Whatever your decision, if your treads are too low, you’ll need to change them as soon as possible. 

If your tire treads are good as they are, then we’d advise you to get them rotated and balanced to keep them healthy for longer. Also, test the tire pressure simultaneously to ensure there are no air leaks. 

Check Your Brakes

This one’s a no-brainer. You need to get your brakes checked to ensure your vehicle stops in time every time. This is even more important when driving in winter conditions, with wet and slippery roads. 

When you come to Glendale Nissan for Nissan maintenance, we’ll check your brake pads and ensure you have enough brake fluid to keep you and your family safe when driving around during the holiday season. We’ll also examine your rotors and other parts to ensure they work together. 

Test the Battery

Cold temperatures can impact your Nissan’s battery life. It has to work extra hard when powering not only your vehicle but also lights, heaters, and so on. The last thing you need is to be stuck out in the cold trying to jump-start your car. It’s important that you check your battery terminals and cables to make sure they’re properly connected and corrosion-free. 

When you come in for Nissan maintenance, our trained technicians can test your battery life and its charging systems to ensure they’re in full working order. 

Nissan Maintenance for Winter

Aside from the big three above, other aspects of your Nissan need to be taken care of when you prepare it for the winter months:

  • Front end alignment to adjust the front wheels to run parallel to your Nissan’s center.
  • Filter replacement with genuine Nissan oil filters.
  • Muffler/exhaust repair.
  • Transmission flush (if your transmission fluid is dark and not bright in color).
  • Overall vehicle checkup and inspection

Get Your Vehicle Ready for the Winter

Book your Nissan maintenance to ensure you’re fully set for the holiday season. 

Our team of fully qualified service center technicians is Nissan certified, ensuring they have the expertise to diagnose and repair any issues with your Nissan vehicle. If you’re searching for a “Nissan service center near me,” we’re here in Glendale Heights, and easy to find and contact

Whether you prefer to schedule a winter service or just drop by, we’re here to make it as convenient as possible for you. Either way, we’re ready and eager to assist you!

Understanding Nissan Fuel Tank Capacities and Fuel Efficiency

Tuesday, November 12th, 2024
Nissan fuel efficiency

Understanding your vehicle’s fuel capacity and fuel efficiency is essential for managing convenience, budgeting, and planning trips. At Glendale Nissan, we want to empower you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions. Here’s a detailed guide to the fuel tank capacities of various Nissan models, along with insights into their fuel efficiency, to help you choose the right Nissan for your lifestyle.

Nissan Fuel Capacity Across the Lineup

Nissan’s lineup offers a diverse range of vehicles, each designed to suit a variety of needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a fuel-efficient commuter car, a spacious SUV, or a capable truck, Nissan has a model with a fuel capacity and efficiency to fit all lifestyles. Here’s a look at the fuel tank capacities for some of the most popular models available at Glendale Nissan:

Each of these models provides different benefits, from the Altima and Sentra’s remarkable highway MPG to the Titan’s larger tank capacity for longer hauls. Understanding these differences can help you choose the perfect Nissan to suit your driving needs.

The Importance of Nissan Fuel Efficiency

Knowing your Nissan’s fuel capacity is just one part of the equation. Fuel efficiency, typically measured in miles per gallon (MPG), plays an important role in determining how far a full tank will take you. Vehicles with larger fuel tanks often provide a greater range, which is ideal for long road trips or extensive daily commutes from Glendale Heights or Naperville to Elgin or Chicago. 

On the other hand, high fuel efficiency helps you save at the pump on each tank of gas by making each gallon last longer. This is a major advantage considering how gas prices can fluctuate.

For instance, with up to 39 MPG, the Nissan Altima’s 16.2-gallon tank offers an impressive range, ideal for long-distance trips or frequent commutes with fewer stops for refueling. The combination of fuel-efficient use and a modestly sized tank can make a big difference in driving convenience and fuel expenses.

Choosing the Right Nissan for Your Needs

When choosing a Nissan vehicle, it’s helpful to think about how and where you’ll be driving most of the time. If you frequently take long trips or prefer fewer stops on the road, a model with a larger fuel tank and solid fuel efficiency, like the Nissan Rogue or Nissan Murano, might be the perfect fit. These SUVs offer the spacious interiors and comfort you want when going on extended trips while giving you the fuel efficiency you need to save on fuel costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

If you’re mainly navigating the city streets and prefer a smaller vehicle with great fuel efficiency, a compact model like the Nissan Sentra could be a better fit for your unique set of needs and preferences. The Sentra’s excellent MPG rating allows you to get the most out of each tank without sacrificing comfort, style, or safety features—ideal for urban driving or short commutes.

Looking for a Fuel-Efficient Nissan for Your Family?

With our wide selection of Nissan models, Glendale Nissan is here to help you find a car that suits your lifestyle, from its fuel capacity to its safety features. 

Visit us today, and let our knowledgeable, family-friendly team guide you in finding a reliable, fuel-efficient Nissan model that’s perfect for you and your family. Whether you’re from Glendale Heights, Naperville, or Melrose Park, you’ll find that a visit to Glendale Nissan is all about comfort, community, and finding a car you’ll love for years to come.
