In 2009, Nissan recommends using 3.5 quarts of SAE 5w-30 oil for the 1.6 liter engine and 4.88 quarts for the 1.8 liter engine. It is crucial to ensure the oil has an approved API certification mark for the right quality. The owner's manual advises changing the oil every 3000 - 5000 miles or every 3 months to maintain peak engine efficiency. The cost of oil ranges from $5 - $12, with synthetic oil being pricier but lasting longer between changes due to better lubrication.
The 2009 Nissan Versa can hold 3.5 quarts of engine oil when the filter is changed for the 1.6L engines. For the 1.8L engines, the capacity is larger at 4.88 quarts with a filter change.
