What is the right oil type for the 2012 Nissan Altima?
I’ve done my own maintenance on all of my previous cars, and I just bought a 2012 Altima in mint condition. What type of oil will I need for it?

Knowing basic car maintenance is a great way to reduce some financial costs associated with owning a car. The recommended oil for the 2012
Nissan Altima
is Extended Performance Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30 5 Quart or any brand of synthetic 5W-30 oil. However, the recommended oil could vary based on your vehicle’s engine size. And if you’re looking for peak performance from your Altima, make sure you’re using synthetic oil.
