The 2001 Nissan Altima with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine requires 3.6 quarts of SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Nissan recommends using synthetic oil for better protection and performance compared to regular oil. With synthetic oil, you only need to change it every 7,500 miles, rather than the 3,500 to 5,000 miles intervals for conventional oil. It's advisable to check your oil monthly to ensure it's at the right level and free of any debris that could harm your engine.
