Risks of Putting Off an Oil Change

---

We understand that it can be hard to fit vehicle service into your busy schedule and it might be tempting to put off your oil change. But here at Lugoff Nissan in Lugoff, SC, our Nissan Service Center makes servicing your vehicle simple, so there’s no need to put it off!

Routine oil and filter changes are key to keeping your Nissan’s engine running efficiently and performing at its best. The right oil helps keep your engine clean and provides the necessary lubrication to decrease wear and tear. That’s why a full-service oil change for your new or used Nissan is vital!

For Nissan vehicles, the frequency of oil changes can depend on several factors including the specific model, year, and engine type. The common recommendation is 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. If your Nissan uses synthetic oil, you may be able to go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes. Consult your owner’s manual for recommendations for your specific model.

Newer Nissan models often come with maintenance reminder systems that monitor driving conditions and provide alerts when it’s time for an oil change, so there’s no need to guess or keep track of it yourself!

Which Oil Change is Right for My Vehicle?

---

Not sure what type of oil to use in your Nissan? We’re happy to help! Depending on your vehicle, our service experts will recommend using one of the following:

Conventional Oil

Conventional oil is widely used due to its affordability and effectiveness. Conventional oil typically requires more frequent changes, typically every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 3 to 6 months, depending on driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations.

Semi-Synthetic Oil or Synthetic Blend

A synthetic blend is a mix of synthetic and conventional oils. It offers some of the benefits of synthetic oil, such as improved performance and protection, at a lower price than full synthetic. Synthetic blend oil change intervals are generally similar to conventional oil, around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or 3 to 6 months, depending on your driving habits. It’s a good middle ground for drivers looking for enhanced performance without the higher cost of full synthetic oil.

Full Synthetic Oil

Synthetic oil is made from chemically modified petroleum components or completely synthetic base stocks. It offers superior performance in extreme temperatures, reduces engine wear, and enhances fuel efficiency. With synthetic oil, you can typically go longer between oil changes, and it’s not unusual to go 7,500 to 10,000 miles, depending on driving habits and manufacturer guidelines. Synthetic oil costs more than conventional oil, but its extended life span and enhanced engine protection make it an excellent choice for high-performance vehicles or cars in extreme climates.
