What is the 2018 Nissan Altima’s oil type?

I want to save up for a vacation to Europe, so I’m figuring out ways to sock away money. Changing the oil in my Altima seems like a no-brainer, but I’m not sure what oil I need. What type of oil does a 2018 Nissan Altima take?

, make sure to grab a bottle of SAE 0W-20 type motor oil. Nissan recommends full synthetic motor oil, as it provides up to 7,500 miles between oil changes, as well as improved performance and fuel economy.
The amount of oil you need for an oil change depends on what engine you have in your 2018 Altima. The 2.5-liter Altima requires 4.9 quarts while the 3.5-liter V-6 needs 5.1 quarts.
