6 Easy-To-Replace Nissan Parts

Car maintenance can become quite expensive. A good way to cut down on your car maintenance costs is to replace some parts yourself. Some Nissan parts are so easy to replace that anyone can do it.

1. Engine Air Filters

It takes less than 5 minutes to replace an engine air filter. All you need to do is:

  1. Open the hood.
  2. Find the air intake box.
  3. Open the air intake box. (On some Nissan models, you need a screwdriver or wrench to unfasten the air intake box cover.)
  4. Pull out the old air filter.
  5. Put the new air filter in.

Voila! It's ridiculously easy. Here's a detailed Nissan engine air filter replacement tutorial if you need one. You don't even need to go to a Nissan dealership to pick up a replacement engine air filter. You can get one from us at wholesale pricing. You can find our catalog of genuine OEM Nissan engine air filters here.

2. Wiper Blades

The front and rear wiper blades on your Nissan take less than 5 minutes to replace. In fact, you can replace them right on the side of the road. All you need to do is unclip the plastic part at the bottom of the wiper blade. Once that's unclipped, you can remove the old wiper blade and then put in the new one.

It's a good idea to keep a set of replacement wiper blades in your Nissan at all times. This way, you can readily replace your wipers as soon as they fail. You can find genuine OEM replacement wiper blades on our site at rock bottom prices. If you need help finding the right part number for your Nissan model, we're the people to talk to.

3. Spark Plugs

Spark plugs can be quick and easy to replace. The amount of time it will take depends on how many cylinders your engine has. The more cylinders are there, the more spark plugs you need to replace. If you have a V6, it should take about an hour to replace all the spark plugs. Under normal circumstances, it should take about 5 minutes to replace a spark plug. Some spark plugs are hard to take out, though. In that case, it takes longer than 5 minutes.

To replace a spark plug, you need a few different wrenches, an extension, and a socket. If you have the right tools and a good tutorial to follow (we have one!), replacing your spark plugs should be a breeze. If you need replacement spark plugs, look no further than our catalog of genuine OEM spark plugs at wholesale pricing.

4. Headlight And Taillight Bulbs

Replacing the headlight and taillight bulbs on your Nissan is a pretty quick and easy job. Each Nissan model has different steps. You may need to find a model-specific tutorial. The idea is the same across all Nissan models. You would need to take the old bulb out from behind the headlight or taillight assembly, and then install the new one. If you're replacing a taillight bulb, keep in mind that there may be a few screws holding the assembly in place. So you may need a screwdriver to unfasten the assembly.

5. Battery

Replacing your car battery sounds intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy. All you need to do is:

  1. Disconnect the black cable from the negative post.
  2. Disconnect the red cable from the positive post.
  3. Remove the battery retainer. (Some retainers sit across the top of the battery. Other harnesses are near the bottom of the battery.)

It's common for car owners to change their car battery right in the parking lot after buying a new one. You can order an OEM Nissan battery from us at wholesale pricing. Check out this catalog to see if we have one for your Nissan model!

6. Side Mirror Glass

If you have a busted side mirror glass, we have good news. It's really easy to replace the side mirror glass on your vehicle! The side mirror glass is secured in place by clips. All you need to do is unclip it (and disconnect the wires, if any) and then clip the new one in place. Don't forget to tape up the broken side mirror glass. This prevents any loose shards of glass from falling out.

If you need a replacement side mirror glass, we got you covered. Here's our catalog of side mirror parts at wholesale pricing.
