I just purchased my fourth gen not too long ago and it's time for its first oil change. What kind of oil do you guys use (brand, weight, etc.)? Also, how much does this car take with the filter?

Thanks guys.

 

The car holds 4.5 quarts. When you do the oil change, just add 4 quarts and then add as much oil as you need. I usually put in 4 or 4.25 quarts since there is some oil left over.

mobil 1 supersyn synthetic 5W30 oil + OEM nissan oil filter

 

one more on the mobile 1 synthetic bandwagon
10w30 since I live in Az

 

If you don't use synthetic only use castrol GTX. And it's only 4.25 quarts so to that guy putting in 5, way to go bud.

 

i guess im different i use castrol gtx 20w 50

 

why 20w??????

 

ive just always used it and had no problems
used 10w in my 240sx and it didnt run so smooth
so i stick to the 20w

I'm in Texas so the 5W-30 was out of the question for the summers at 100+ temperatures.
I've used Mobil1 Synthetic since day 1.. The car has 90k miles.. Engine runs flawless.

Don't use FRAM filters.
