The recommended oil for a 2012 Nissan Sentra is 5W-30 with a capacity of 4.1 quarts. It is crucial to use high-quality oil to ensure the engine operates smoothly. Neglecting the oil can lead to engine issues, such as a knocking noise and poor gas mileage. Over time, old or low-quality oil can cause the engine to fail, possibly resulting in a burning odor or even a potential explosion. It is important to monitor the oil closely and adhere to a regular oil change schedule, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to prevent engine problems.
