What kind of oil does a 2016 Nissan Altima take?

I bought a new car a few months ago, and now I need to get the oil changed. I’m going to have my dad do it to save some money, so I just need to buy the oil. What kind of oil does a 2016 Nissan Altima take?

It’s very nice of your dad to help you save some money!
Since you’re changing the oil at home, you’ll need to pick up either 0W-20 or 5W-30 for your 2016
Nissan Altima
.
Both types are recommended for 2016 Nissan Altimas, and plenty of brands make it, so there’s an option for all budgets. Popular brands that are widely available include Mobil 1 and Mag 1. If you need assistance determining which option is best, you can always visit an auto parts store for more guidance.
