In 2004, the recommended oil type for the Nissan Altima is 5W-30. It's important to change your oil regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can lead to engine issues. Using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Signs of trouble with the oil include a strong burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential engine damage. Old or low-quality oil can cause the engine to fail, resulting in noises like knocking and decreased fuel efficiency.
