Common problems and easy repairs on a 2008 Sentra

The 2008 Nissan Sentra S is a relatively easy vehicle to maintain. All of the headlights are easily accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The battery has very open access to both its terminals and bracket, so replacing it whenever necessary shouldn’t be a problem. The engine air filter’s tray is simple to disengage and remove, which makes changing it very easy to do.

However, the 2008 Nissan Sentra S has its downsides. The trunk lining, multiple fasteners, and the bulb housing itself will need to be removed to access all of the tail lights, which won’t allow them to be reliably changed. Accessing the cabin air filter may be a problem on account of its cramped location. The same goes for things such as the transmission fluid and oil filter, whose obstructed locations may also expose you to other, hotter engine parts.
