The recommended oil for a 2004 Nissan Maxima is 5w30 with a capacity of 4.4 quarts. It is crucial to use high-quality oil to keep the engine running smoothly. Issues will arise if the oil is not up to standard, potentially leading to engine failure. A common sign of bad oil is a strong burning odor, indicating a problem that should be addressed promptly to prevent any severe consequences, such as the possibility of the car catching fire. Additionally, engine knocking noises and decreased gas mileage may occur. It is important to change the oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to avoid problems with the engine.
