The 2012 Nissan Maxima requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 5.1 quarts. This oil helps keep your engine parts lubricated, removes impurities like dirt and sludge, and ensures your vehicle runs smoothly. An oil change for your Maxima typically costs between $40 to $50 for labor and $70 to $80 for parts. It is recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles. Signs that it's time for an oil change include engine ticking sounds, transmission issues, shaking at idle, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel economy, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.
The 2012 Nissan Maxima should use a 5W-30 type of engine oil as suggested.
