The 2012 Nissan Altima comes in two different engine variants: the 2.5L and the 3.5L. In Your case, only the smaller of the two is relevant. At each oil change, You'll be using 4.9 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. In a bind, it's possible to swap in SAE 5W-40, but its use is not recommended if it's avoidable, especially over the long term. To understand why, we must first understand oil weights. The higher the weight, the thicker the oil. The thicker the oil, the more friction will run in Your system. More friction leads to more premature wear and tear, so it's always the best idea to stick to the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest weight; it may cost more per change, but You'll thank Yourself in the long term.
