What is a 2016 Nissan Sentra’s oil type?

I’ve been driving my mom’s car for the past couple of months while mine has been in the shop, and I want to change the oil for her before I give it back. What type of oil does a 2016 Nissan Sentra use?

How awesome of you to think of changing your mom’s oil for her! Her 2016 Nissan Sentra uses full synthetic SAE 0W-20 oil and you’ll need 4.2 quarts for a full change.
Synthetic oils usually cost more, but they provide better engine protection than regular oils. Synthetic oil also lasts longer, so you can usually go longer between changes.
Now that you’re going to have your own car back, why not take a minute to make sure you’ve got the best
