Ive run my car for 4 years it has 2 oil changes and a service every year at a Nissan dealer are there any tips to keep it going another 5 years as we love the car. It is run on Shell V power all the time but does the engine need any additives considering its age it has only done 80,000 miles

Keep up the oil changes and stick with V-Power Nitro Plus because it already contains the necessary additives. Be aware that the DPF might soon fill up with ash. You may not need an expensive new DPF as the ash can be cleaned out by the Ceramex process for about £300.
