Nissan recommends having your 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Pulsar NX in the above table. Your Pulsar NX 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Nissan if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, 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 Pulsar NX. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
