Nissan recommends changing your 1986 720’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Nissan-recommended oil change intervals, your 720 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Nissan 720. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
