changing oil

[thisisjun]

okay i'm a noob at changing oil and needed a question answered.

How many quarts of oil do i need to buy change my oil for the a/c?
planning to get schaeffer's 15w-40 synthetic cuz i get discounts on it.

Nissan recommends 5w30. I don't think going to a heavier weight oil is a good thing, especially in winter.

VQ: ~5 qts w/oil filter change
QR: ? not sure

oooo ooops i didnt see that we had schaeffers 5w30 haha. wel yea i'll get this then.

does 4 qt's sound good? 4.5?

I found 4.5 to be perfect with an oil filter change on the 2.5S coupe.
your best bet is draining it all, adding 4 then keep pouring in little amounts and checking the level with the dipstick until you have the right amount. (it's easy to add more oil if needed but to take it out when you accidentally put too much is a b****)

you definitely want to use 5w30 though.
