Nissan Altima Oil Types
Planning a Nissan Altima oil change but unsure what type of oil your sedan needs? The service experts at Nissan of Florence can help. Determine the correct Nissan Altima oil type in our guide below, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or need more service tips.
What’s the Right Oil Type For Your Nissan Altima?
When it comes to a Nissan Altima oil change, what’s the right oil for your vehicle? At Nissan of Florence, we recommend different Nissan Altima oil types, depending on which engine your Nissan Altima is equipped with. Compare the different oil types for each engine below:
- 2.5L 4-cylinder: We recommend you use Genuine Nissan Motor Oil 0W-SP. If you can’t find this synthetic oil, then you can use a synthetic 0W-20 GF-6A SP motor oil.
- 2.0L 4-cylinder: If your Altima is equipped with this engine, then the correct Nissan Altima oil type is Nissan Motor Oil Ester 5W-30 SN. If that’s not available, you can use synthetic SAE 5W-30 GF-5 SN motor oil.
Bear in mind that if you damage your engine using non-compliant engine oil, repairs won’t be covered by your warranty. Feel free to reach out to our mechanics for help with sourcing the right Nissan Altima oil type.
How Often Should You Receive a Nissan Altima Oil Change?
According to your Nissan Altima owner’s manual, you should receive an oil change every 6 months/5,000 miles. If you do any unusual types of driving around Darlington, like food delivery or ride-sharing, you can contact our mechanics for a custom oil change schedule to reflect your driving needs.
