What is the 2018 Nissan Sentra’s oil type?

I’m due for an oil change on my 2018 Nissan Sentra, but this is my first time changing the oil in a car since I started driving. Is there a specific type of oil I need to use?

If you’re scheduling your oil change with a mechanic you’ll only need to provide them with your car’s make and model. From there, the mechanic will take care of changing the oil on your 2018
Nissan Sentra
. That said, the 2018 Nissan Sentra uses 0W-20 fully synthetic motor oil.
Here are some other tips for handling routine maintenance on your Sentra:
  • Get your oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles
  • Replace your wiper blades every six to 12 months
  • Fill up your windshield wiper fluid routinely—this can be done at home and doesn’t require a mechanic
  • Get your Sentra’s wheels aligned every 6,000 miles
  • Replace your tires every 50,000 miles
  • Get your battery tested every five years
Regular maintenance is the perfect way to increase the longevity and reliability of your Nissan Sentra. Catching small problems as they come up will save you from paying for expensive larger repairs later down the line.
