How often does the 2017 Nissan Sentra need an oil change?
Nissan recommends changing the oil in your 2017 Sentra every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. That being said, if you are consistently driving short distances in cold weather, driving in dusty conditions, commuting with lots of stop and go driving, or idling extensively, you’re going to want to have your car’s engine oil changed more frequently since these conditions are tough on the engine and filter.
