Nissan Kicks Oil Type

When it’s time for your next oil change, what’s the best type of oil to keep your engine running smoothly? The manufacturer-recommended Nissan Kicks oil type is a synthetic 0W-20 formulation, though we recommend checking your owner’s manual to be sure. This oil type can handle the freezing temperatures and sweltering heat of the Arlington area, and it’s durable enough to keep your engine in prime condition through all of your driving adventures.

Why Choose Synthetic Over Regular?

Synthetic oil is the preferred oil type for Nissan vehicles, but why is it so much better than regular motor oil? Regular or conventional oil is an older formulation that works well in many older cars, but it tends to be thicker and less resilient. Synthetic motor oil includes additives that make it more chemically stable. The result is a smoother, free-flowing formula that resists oxidation and lasts significantly longer than regular motor oil. It’s simply a better option for most Memphis and Bartlett drivers.

When Should I Schedule My Next Oil Change?

Your choice of motor oil also affects not just your performance, but also your maintenance schedule. If you choose conventional oil, expect an oil change every 5,000 miles or so. If you choose synthetic oil instead, you can usually push your oil change to every 7,500 miles.

And if you like to take care of your maintenance at home, don’t forget to replace your Nissan Kicks oil filter. The team at Wolfchase Nissan will take care of this task when you schedule your service with us, but if you’re doing the heavy lifting yourself, pick up Nissan Kicks oil filters at our parts department!

• 2023 Nissan Kicks: 4.5 quarts
