The 2011 Nissan Sentra requires 5w-30 oil, with a capacity of 4.1 quarts for the 2.0 L engine and 4.5 quarts for the 2.5 L engine. Using high-quality oil is crucial for the engine's optimal performance. Neglecting the oil can lead to various problems such as engine failure, a burning odor, or even a potential risk of an explosion. If you hear knocking noises from the engine or notice a decrease in gas mileage, it's essential to have the oil inspected promptly. It is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine issues.
