The 2008 Nissan Maxima requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 4.5 quarts. This oil works to keep your car's engine cool and lubricated while preventing wear and damage by reducing friction between moving parts. An oil change for your Maxima typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and $70 and $80 for parts. It is recommended to have an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include increased engine noise, transmission shifting problems, shaking during idling, excess exhaust, a lingering oil smell inside the vehicle, or the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights.
In 2008, the oil capacity for a Nissan Maxima is about 4.5 quarts, and it's suggested to use engine oil with an API Certification Mark, specifically the SAE 5W-30 type.
