A piece of welcoming news is that countries have rolled out the coronavirus vaccine but not without challenges. If all goes well, you might be able to take a much-deserved trip in the summers. Talking about summers, many people are oblivious to their car needs. What they fail to realize is that during the winters, cars are exposed to harsh conditions. Therefore, before thinking about going on a road trip, make sure that your Nissan Patrol is ready for the summer.
Fluids
Check the fluids in your vehicle. By now, you know that the car has several fluids, including the brake fluid, transmission fluid, engine oil, coolant, and others. Make sure that they are topped off to the recommended levels.
Wiper Blades
