★ Top Answer
The 2010 Nissan Altima can hold 5.1 quarts (4.8 liters) of SAE 5w-30 engine oil. Using the correct oil helps reduce friction, wear, and internal corrosion. An oil change for your Altima typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and $70 to $80 for parts. Aim to get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Look out for signs like engine ticking, transmission issues, idling shakes, exhaust smoke, poor gas mileage, and the Check Engine or Oil Change lights turning on to know when it's time for a change.
