If you own a 2002 Nissan Altima with a 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine, it's recommended to use 4.2 quarts of synthetic 5W-30 oil. Meanwhile, if you have the 3.5 L V6 engine, you should use 4.4 quarts of the same synthetic oil. Considering the age of your vehicle, you might want to switch to a high mileage oil to rejuvenate your engine. This type of oil can help remove oil sludge buildup and improve the condition of seals and o-rings, reducing leaks and oil consumption. Fortunately, high mileage oil is reasonably priced, with 5-quart bottles available for under $25.
