I was a bit confused the other day when added windshield washer fluid. There are three other things that look like they need attention from time to time. Well, Nissan did send me an Email telling me it’s time for a yearly checkup. So I put the wife in the car and we went up to have the car checked.

Before anything else, I asked about all the things that look like they need attention. I asked, what are they. How do I know they need new fluid. Finally, what kind of fluid do they need.

One is for the breaks and uses regular break fluid. One is for the motor and one is to cool the batteries. The fluid for the batteries and motor is the same type of fluid and I can get it at a car parts store. The good new is that, once I got my head in the right place, I could see they are right at the top.

After all that, I found out that the car needed no attention. After another 2000 miles, I need to have the tires rotated. However, in spite of not needing any attention, they cleaned all the leaves that collected in under the hood and vacuumed the interior. No charge. Not a bad deal.

However, they were all interested in how I liked the car. I asked if they are still selling them. They said they just sold one a couple of days ago.

If I have any regrets, it’s that I didn’t get the one that was 10000 more but I just couldn’t afford it. I likely would not have been able to finance it. With it having 100 mile more range, I would not be as hesitant to a little farther than home. (140 miles instead of 85). Also, it has a self drive function. Still, for 10000, I think I’ll drive it myself.
