  Q: Why are frequent oil and Oil Filter changes essential for preventive maintenance on Nissan Sentra?

  A: Another advisable activity is regular oil change since over time the oil degrades in quality and becomes diluted and nourishes the engine with wear particles. Before doing anything else, make sure you have all of your supplies that you might need and plenty of old rags/newspaper for oiling. Leave the car in a flat surface, switch on its engine and rev it to normal operational temperatures and then switch off the engine. Chock the wheels and lift the car using jack stands and place a drain pan under the drain plug being careful of hot exhaust parts. Open the drain plug with a conventional socket wrench so you can let the previous oil get into the pan, while checking it for metal particles. Clean the locating pins and surrounding surface then replace the plug of the drain and tighten this with the needed torque. Place the drain pan beneath the next component, the oil filter, use the filter wrench and turn it with your hand, but you need to tilt it sometimes. Remove the wiping surface of the oil filter mounting surface so that no remnants of the old gasket can be seen and evaluate the old filter with the new one. Apply some engine oil on the gasket of the new filter, and then place the component by hand, and with the use of excessive force, and after that, ensure every tool, and rag is removed from under the automobile before lowering. Pour in four quarts of new oil with a funnel, wait for a few minutes, and then double check the level with the dipstick whether it's located at the H mark or not; if that's the case, replace the filler cap, start the engine, and let the fresh oil mix with the other components. Next, warm the engine up for approximately one minute and then switch it off; ensure that oil draining from the oil pan and the oil filter area is properly tightened if it seems to be leaking. Check the quantity of oil after a few minutes and add if the oil bit is still showing. After the oil change, the first few trips, it is advisable to constantly look out for stains and confirm oil dip stick levels. The old oil cannot be used again; figure out the procedures of recycling the oil with the nearby centers and take it in a proper receptacle container when it has cooled down.
