What is the Nissan Altima 2015 oil type?

My husband is going on a road trip in a couple of weeks in his 2015 Nissan Altima. I want to stock his car with some oil in case he needs it. What kind should I buy?

That’s very thoughtful—and super smart! Keeping some extra oil in your car is a great way to avoid being stranded or frying your engine if your oil runs too low.
The 2015
Nissan Altima
’s oil type is SAE 0W-20. While you can choose between synthetic or conventional motor oil, Nissan recommends synthetic, as do most car manufacturers these days. Synthetic motor oil costs more but is generally healthier for your engine and you won’t have to change it as often.
Tell your husband we hope he has fun on his trip!
