The recommended oil type and quantity for a 2012 Nissan Altima is 5W-30 and 4 quarts. It's important to change the oil regularly to prevent engine issues. Typically, changing the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles is a good practice. Failing to replace the oil can lead to engine problems and a burning odor may signal trouble. Ensuring high-quality oil is crucial for the engine's performance and longevity. Neglecting oil changes can result in engine failure, knocking noises, and decreased gas mileage. Be vigilant for any signs of oil issues to avoid potential engine damage or safety hazards.
