If I were you and in your situation, I would definitely take the car in to a mechanic. It might take a little more to be fixed, but most manufacturers and safety experts recommend that you take it in for something like that. A friend of mine did his by himself and wound up putting it on the wrong way. I disagree with the answerer who said that you should have learned to do this stuff before driving the car because while you should know how to change your own oil and flat tires, a fuel filter should be left to someone who has been trained on how to do it. What I would recommend as far as the mechanic, go to the Nissan dealership in your area. They know your car. Don't take it to a quick lube shop or places like that. My fiancee took her car to a quick lube shop to get the transmission fluid replaced and we wound up having to have the car towed to another shop to have the problems they caused repaired. Be careful and good luck.

I don't think you need a fuel filter although it is good to change it every once in a while. Your best bet is the one everybody seems to be saying, a gas leak. You should definetly smell the gas leaking if it is. Another thing it might be is your spark plugs and your pcv valve. When was the last time your changed those. Old sparkplugs can make your car guzzle down some gas pretty fast. And the service light just go to your auto part store and they will tell you what it is. I wouldn't go to the dealer because they will over charge you on it for something simple.

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avm6z
it sounds like it is using too much gas if the check engine light is on there is a problem with the engine have it checked and repaired and your fuel mileage will probably go up there is a sensor that has to do with the fuel tank that will set a code if you keep putting gas in after the pump shuts off but it wouldn,t change the mileage

Unless you want to mess with gas take it in. Any oil changing place should be able to do it.

Read your owners manual.... That is the fastest way to learn about your car. You should already have learned how to do that stuff before you started DRIVING the car !!!
