Hi! Great video, thanks a million for uploading! I recently bought my first car, a 2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2 DiG-T N-Connecta 5dr manual in UK. The dealer serviced it before delivery. Now, I have some maintenance questions and will appreciate if you can please answer them: Question 1. Engine oil: Should I check the engline oil level monthly through dipstick and top it up to the max as soon as it's level drops even slightly? (I'm new to car care and want to learn more. Please excuse if my questions sound silly 😃) Question 2. Fluids: Should I buy coolant and brake fluid and engine oil to keep at home and check levels regularly? If so, what brands do you recommend for my car? Question 3. Servicing: I was told by few that I should buy above mentioned fluids and air and oil filters at Euro Car Parts and hand them over to mechanic at the time of car servicing to save on costs. Is this a good idea? Lastly should I specifically ask the mechanic to check and top up gearbox oil during servicing? (Please note that I don't know if my manual Qashqai needs gearbox/transmission oil). Thanks!

I'd say yes. There are so many qashqai on the road that there will always be ones with issues. Battery is a common fault but if you buy from a dealer with a decent warranty they'll sort it.
