The 2006 Nissan Altima requires SAE 5w30 synthetic oil and holds 4.4 quarts in both the 2.5l and 3.5l engines. Using the right oil is essential as it lessens friction, reduces wear, and helps prevent internal component corrosion. The typical cost for an oil change on your Altima ranges from $40 to $50 for labor and $70 to $80 for parts. It is recommended to have an oil change every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever occurs first. Signs that your car needs an oil change include increased engine noise, a knock, smelling oil inside the vehicle, shaking during idle, higher mileage than usual, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change indicator lights.
