Car Shaking Problems
Car shaking problems are usually the results of mechanical problems. Out of adjustment tires or suspension will make the car shake after reaching a certain speed. Warped brake rotors will also make the car shake when it’s slowing down.

Can too much oil damage your spark plugs?
Too much oil can cause serious engine damage from lack of lubrication. When the oil level is overfull it makes contact with the crankshaft. This creates a foaming action that mixes air with the oil. The oil then becomes a very poor lubricant and the engine will overheat and there will be bearing damage. Fouled spark plugs is the least of your worries when you overfill a crankcase.
Sounds a little fishy to me. Do you have a check engine light on? If so check for codes. Otherwise, check for dirty throttle body or bad powertrain mount. Oh, park... forget the mount. Dirty throttly body or bad IAC are mos likely. Just possibly as bad spark plug. You aren't using regular gas in a Nissan requiring 91 octane, are you?

Why does the steering wheel shake when i brake to slow down the car?
If the car is only shaking when you are applying the brakes, the most likely reason is warped rotors. The rotors can become warped when they are overheated and then cooled off too rapidly. This can happen when you have hot rotors and then you run over a puddle and the water splashes on them.

What wrong when the instrument panel lights dim when AC is turn on?
When you turn on the A/C the engine RPMs drop slightly. If this causes the dash light to dim slightly then I would suspect your alternator is weak or the drive belt is slipping. Check the belt and adjust or replace as necessary. Also check the output of the alternator with the engine running at idle. You should get a reading of 13.5 to 15.5 volts on a digital volt meter.

What does a dashboard light with an rectangle with a spout mean?
Sounds like your engine oil is getting low. Check the oil level and replenish if necessary. There may be other signs of overheating if the oil level has fallen perilously low. When did your vehicle last have an oil and filter change?
Could also be that your oil pump has died. Could also be a faulty oil pressure sensor. In any case, it needs looking at very soon, as your engine will be the next thing to die.

Why would the steering wheel shake back and forth while driving and only at low speeds?
You should take the vehicle to the tire store where you purchased the front tires. Your description sounds a lot like either a slipped belt or a bent wheel.
I'd bet on the slipped belt. Radial tires have a very flexible sidewall (radial ply) and a less flexible and tougher tread ply, called the belt. If the material between the belt and the radial plies separates, it will typically slip to one side and only in limited areas of the tire.
One way to check for yourself, jack up the front end and spin the tires. Watch for an area that suddenly goes off to the side. If you see that, it's a slipped belt, and if you have a slipped belt, don't take the vehicle on the freeway and definitely get the tire replaced as soon as possible. They're very dangerous.
normaly, once you disconect all the clips(front and back) AND DISCONECT THE HOSE, THE COVER SHOULD LIFT RIGHT UP.LOOK AROUND IT AND MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING.
