Frequently Asked Questions

What type of oil does a Nissan Altima take?

Depending on the model year of your Altima, oil types will vary. Most pre-2019 Altima sedans use 5W-30 oil, as do many newer Altima designs that carry a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. However, post-2019 models with a larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine require full synthetic 0W-20 oil. Check your owner’s manual or call Lorenzo Nissan for year-specific guidance.

How often do you need to change synthetic oil?

You'll need a synthetic oil change less often than a conventional oil change. Synthetic oil typically needs to be changed every 7,500 to 15,000 miles, while conventional oil is generally recommended to be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. In addition to your vehicle's make, model, and year, other factors can influence oil change intervals, including frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or high-speed driving.

What is a conventional oil change?

A conventional oil change includes the same steps as a synthetic oil change, but the materials used are different: In both instances, a technician will replace your old engine oil and oil filter with new ones. However, a conventional oil change uses mineral-based oil, which is less refined, less expensive, and has a shorter lifespan than synthetic blends or full synthetic lubricants.

What type of oil do I use in my Nissan Rogue?

The Nissan Rogue needs a full synthetic oil, but the oil's viscosity varies by model year. Nissan automakers recommend that Rogue variants built in 2017 and later use 0W-20, but older Rogue models produced between 2014 and 2016 rely on 0W-20 or 5W-30, depending on their engines. Lorenzo Nissan can clear up any oil change questions when you come in for service.

How do I reset the oil light in a Nissan Altima?

The oil light reset process depends on the model year. Typically, you can use the buttons on your steering wheel, dashboard, or center console to scroll and find the oil change or maintenance reminder. Then, select and hold "Reset" for a few seconds or until the oil light blinks. Press "Reset" again to turn off the oil light or navigate back to the main menu, and the light should extinguish.

Can the check engine light come on for an oil change?

Check engine lights do not usually indicate a need for an oil change; they highlight larger engine problems that might be caused, in part, by dirty oil. Instead, Nissan vehicles alert you about oil change needs through dashboard warning lights that look like oil can symbols, oil pressure warning lights, or an indicator showing your vehicle's remaining oil life percentage from 100% to 0%.
