The 2016 Nissan Altima requires 5.1 quarts of oil. Nissan suggests using 0W-20 synthetic oil for oil changes. There are two main types of oil: synthetic, which offers superior engine protection compared to conventional oil made from petroleum. Synthetic oil lasts longer, allowing for oil changes every 7,500 miles as opposed to 3,500 to 5,000. It is important to monitor your oil levels monthly, ensuring it is full and clean to prevent engine wear.

    You gotta go with Castrol GTX – it's the real deal. It's the original equipment manufacturer for Nissan, Infiniti, and Audi.
