The 3.5 liter 6-cylinder engine in the 2002 Nissan Maxima requires 4.4 US quarts of 5W-30 oil with a filter. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if you are using fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months for conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers benefits like improved lubrication, longer time between oil changes, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner synthetic oil flows more easily in cold temperatures, protecting engine parts from friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil change with filter typically ranges from $105 to $120 for materials and labor.
