If you're looking to change the oil in your 2013 Nissan Maxima, you need to be aware of the specific type it requires and how much it can hold. The recommended oil is a 5W-30 synthetic motor lubricant, and you will need at least 5 quarts to ensure you have enough, as the car can hold 5.1 quarts with the filter. While some may question the cost of using a synthetic oil over a conventional one, it's important to note that Nissan actually suggests using the synthetic kind because it offers better performance for your car. Additionally, synthetic oil lasts longer, meaning you won't need to change it as frequently. Your mechanic should be aware of all these details if they're handling the oil change, but it's always a good idea to confirm the type of oil they'll be using.
