As the nation continues to be swept by the electric car revolution, drivers across the nation have access to increasingly affordable, reliable electric vehicles like the Nissan ARIYA® and Nissan LEAF®. Electric vehicles require less maintenance than traditional internal combustion cars. So, the question is: does your electric vehicle still need a Nissan oil change at Barberino Nissan?

Oil Changes

As an electric vehicle has fewer components relative to a gas-powered car, it also has fewer needs when it comes to repair and maintenance. In addition to electric-powered vehicles’ manifold benefits to the environment (and your wallet!), electric Nissan cars do not require oil changes. Because they don’t have an internal combustion engine, there’s no need for motor oil to lubricate the engine’s moving parts.

EV Nissan Service Tasks

On the other hand, an electric Nissan vehicle will still require some routine maintenance, such as windshield wiper and brake fluid refills. If these fluid levels are not checked regularly by a qualified technician, your car will still be subject to damage or undue wear over time, just like any other vehicle.

You’ll also need tire tread/pressure inspections and tire rotations. While EVs don’t need brake component replacements as often due to their regenerative braking system, you’ll still need to periodically replace your brake pads. Make sure to seek out proper Nissan electric car service according to your vehicle’s repair schedule to keep your ride running smoothly.
