Your 2010 Nissan Maxima requires about 4.5 quarts of oil and performs best with synthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil. The cost for the oil will be around $30, and you will also need a WIX filter that costs about $10. If you opt for conventional oil, which is not recommended, you will need to change it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, if you use the suggested synthetic oil, you can typically wait between 7,000 to 10,000 miles before getting an oil change. In warmer climates, you can consider switching to 10W-30 viscosity oil, especially if cold starts are less of a concern.
The 2010 Nissan Maxima should be filled with 4.8 quarts (4.6 liters) of engine oil. It is best to use engine oil that is SAE 5W-30 or has the API Certification Mark, as recommended by Nissan for this vehicle.
