The Importance of Changing Your Nissan’s Oil

You may have heard over and over again that oil is the lifeblood of the engine. That’s because engine oil provides essential lubrication for the thousands of moving parts within your Nissan’s engine while also playing a minor role in keeping excessive heat at bay. Over time and with use, however, engine oil loses its ability to provide optimal lubrication while also collecting various contaminants that also degrade the oil’s performance. A Nissan oil change ensures that your engine remains capable of the performance, efficiency, and longevity that it was designed for.

Conventional vs. Full-Synthetic and Semi-Synthetic

What’s the big deal with conventional, full-synthetic, and semi-synthetic oils? The former is what most Nissan vehicles used until recently when full-synthetic and semi-synthetic oils became the new standard for most vehicles. While conventional oil is derived from petroleum sources, synthetic oil is a manmade product designed to offer superior lubrication and longevity when compared with conventional oil. Semi-synthetic oil splits the difference between conventional and full-synthetic oil, providing Nissan owners with a more economical way to enjoy the advantages of synthetic oil.

When to Change Your Engine Oil

Engine oils have come a long way in terms of longevity and performance, but not enough where they’ll last forever. Nissan oil change requirements vary depending on the model as well as your driving style and whether you’re using conventional, full-synthetic, or semi-synthetic oil, so it’s a good idea to consult your owner’s manual for more information. However, as a general rule of thumb, you should have your Nissan’s oil changed every 5,000 miles unless otherwise noted in your owner’s manual. You may need to change your oil sooner if you operate your Nissan under severe driving conditions.
