In 2018, the Nissan Altima uses a full synthetic oil, specifically SAE 0w-20 type. The 4-cylinder engine with a 2.5 L capacity requires 4.9 quarts, while the 3.5 L V6 engine can hold 5.1 quarts with a filter change. Here are some interesting facts about car motor oil that you might find useful. It's a myth that changing motor oil too often is beneficial; only change it when necessary. Non-synthetic oils should be replaced every 5000 kilometers. Additionally, remember to replace the filters when changing the oil as they play a critical role in filtering impurities and safeguarding the components – a step that is often overlooked during oil changes.
