A driver shares experiences from operating a 2011 Nissan Tiida sedan. The vehicle includes an oil-change reminder that appears on the instrument panel in the first moments after the engine starts, a helpful nudge for maintenance.
In practice, the owner performs oil changes every 7000 to 8000 kilometers. The air filter, on the other hand, tends to last longer between replacements. Tracking the exact mileage for air-filter changes has proven elusive at times.
To improve accuracy, the owner began writing the replacement mileage directly on the air filter itself, a simple habit that has yielded noticeable benefits in timing maintenance tasks.
