I'm too stubborn to get a car payment so my daily is a 1994 Toyota Camry that I bought from the same coworker mentioned above who said it couldn't/wouldn't pass smog. CEL was on because of shifter solenoids. Since replacing them and getting it smogged, it's had zero issues since.

Some rattles and squeaks also simply come and go with time....it can be very hard to predict in advance.



Check your Owners' Manual, but, in a general sense, yes, these days, 500 miles is usually enough. In the old days, you'd want at least 1000 miles, but production tolerances are better today, and generally don't need as long.




Again, check the Maintenance Schedule in the Owners' Manual (it may be in a separate booklet or publication). If not, I'd do the first one before the first couple of thousand miles are up (the first oil change is usually the most important one, for several reasons), and every 3000-5000 miles after that..you might be able to go a little longer with synthetic oil. Also, many vehicles, today, come with a computer-monitor that keep track of your driving conditions and either alerts you with a light when it's time for a change or displays the estimated oil-life-remaining in percentage-points. It's also important that you periodically check the oil on your dipstick if your vehicle doesn't have an oil-level monitor, which is different from the oil-life monitor. Many engines have been damaged or ruined because owners were negligent about oil-checks...and that damage may not be warranty-covered. Manufacturers typically won't consider excessive oil-use as a warranty issue unless it is down to a quart around every 1000 miles or so. And, in most cases, if a certain type or grade of oil is recommended or required in the engine, it is for a reason.....you are best to stick with it and not substitute something else. The engineers who designed the engine know its needs, and have determined that that particular oil will give you the best service in the long run.

Congrats. That is the way to get the Sentra, at least aesthetically. Enjoy!



I agree with mmarshall, it's possibly something that could settle down depending on temperature and things in the car wearing in a little. On the other hand, it could have been a pre-delivery-inspection mistake on the dealership's part - as was the case with my 2016 IS back in the day. It had a bad rattle in the steering column that manifested within a couple weeks. Easy fix though.

I completely forgot about SE-R, indeed sentra was affordable sports car. I wonder if nissan will offer turbo engine in future? perhaps nismo version...
