Kick-off just isn’t the same without the tailgate pre-party! That’s right, it’s football season which means it’s time to pull out your jersey and apparel to support your beloved team. As you pack up the car to head to the game you can only imagine the fun that’s ahead of you, but it doesn’t start when you get inside the stadium, it starts in the parking lot! Oh yeah, we’re going tailgating this weekend! 

The food, the attire, and the games all matter, but when it comes to dominating the tailgate your vehicle could make or break it. So you have to ask yourself, is your ride the right one for the party? Lucky for you, this week’s blog is dedicated to helping you transform your vehicle into the tailgate champion. If you feel that your vehicle can’t take on the job then it might be time to say goodbye to the old and hello to the new. If this is the case for you, be sure to browse our available inventory to find the right Nissan for the job! Plus, it’s Truck Month here at Younger Nissan of Frederick, which means finding your dream truck for less has never been more possible! Let’s get this party started, check out all you need to know on how to dominate the tailgate below! 

Basics: 

• Every tailgate has basics, these include chairs, tables, food (it’s a must), drinks, coolers, plates, utensils, and a grill (be the grill master of the tailgate party)!

Take It Up A Notch:

• Everybody can bring a grill and some food, but that doesn’t make them tailgate masters…take it to the next level with portable phone chargers, wireless speakers and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. You’ll definitely get some brownie points for that!

All Decked Out:

• What is a tailgate without some team pride?? Not a good one that’s for sure! Get all decked out, apparel, magnet decor for your vehicle, balloons, foam fingers, and don’t forget to serve the opposing team fans a burger on a paper plate that has your team’s decor…oh yeah I went there!

Location:

You can have everything for the perfect tailgate party, but it won’t be enough without the right spot! Weather is never perfect, especially in the months ahead, so get there early and ensure you get the perfect spot that shelters your vehicle from the sun, wind, and rain away are generally a wise choice.

Since we’re talking about service this week, we want to bring up an issue many drivers run into. Have you ever pulled out of your parking spot and noticed a puddle/stain right where your vehicle was? As the panic starts to set in you question if it was left by the car before you or if it is your vehicle. If this has happened to you then you’ve experienced a fluid leak in your vehicle. This can be frustrating because your vehicle has many fluids in it, and figuring out where it’s coming from can be hard. But did you know that you can figure out what is leaking from your vehicle just by the color and texture of the fluid? Well, lucky for you we have your go-to color guide below. So if you find yourself in this situation you can identify the issues and service it quickly, right here at Younger Nissan of Frederick! 

LIght brown to black: 

• If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a brownish/black color, chances are its motor oil. This can leak from various spots of your vehicle, but if it is leaking from the center and the odor smells like rotten eggs, the culprit could be a lube oil leak. 
• This won’t stop your vehicle dead, but it means that there is an ongoing issue and you should bring your vehicle in for a professional examination

Light yellow to dark brown:

• Brake fluid stars out as a clear/yellow color and as it ages it becomes dark brown, similar to motor oil. An easy way to distinguish is simple, just feel the fluid. If the fluid feel slippery, it’s likely brake fluid. If this is the case, your vehicle not safe to drive and you’re going to want to bring it in for repair as soon as possible. 

Red(ish): 

• If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a red or reddish color, it’s generally power steering fluid. Power steering fluid will leak from under the front part of your car and is thin in texture. If this is the case, there is an issue with the power steering pump. 

Orange: 

• If the leak is from the center of your vehicle and the fluid is an orange/reddish-brown color, it could be transmission fluid. However, rust from your radiator mixing with an antifreeze leak can appear orange-ish as well. However, antifreeze will be thin and can leak from anywhere, which could help you determine the difference. 

Yellow, Green, or Pink:

• These leaks will be the easiest to spot, and typically the simplest to diagnose. More times than not, the cause of such bright puddles is a simple coolant leak. In these cases, your vehicle’s age comes into play. Older vehicles tend to blow off a bit of coolant when the engine gets too hot, so a few little spots are nothing to worry about.
• If your vehicle is newer, this coolant shouldn’t be dripping any excess liquids so it might be a good idea to bring it in for a look.

Clear: 

• If the fluid leaking from your vehicle looks like water, it probably is water. The air conditioning can build up excess condensation and result in puddles of water underneath your vehicle. This occurs in properly running cars, only be worried if it becomes constant and a lot.

Summer is simmering down and right now is the perfect time to say goodbye to your current vehicle and hello to a brand-new, more reliable vehicle. Let’s face it, once summer is over the remained of the year flies by, and before we know it the weather conditions will be more than unideal. That’s why right now is the perfect time to switch up your drive for a safer and more reliable one. The most important thing behind the wheel is you and your passenger’s safety, and that’s why it’s important to invest in a vehicle that can do just that. But where do you even start your search?
