How Often to Change 2012 Nissan Armada Oil

Need more info about 2012 Nissan Armada oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2012 Armada’s oil should be changed according to Nissan’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Armada may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Nissan Armada. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
