I can go grab my manual in the car if no one knows off hand. I know we've always been told every 3,000 miles, but I'm wondering what the book says. I have a 2008 Versa S.

thank you!

Nissan has alway put my sticker at 3,500 miles. I'd say 3-4k would be good. Almost personal preference and what type of driving you are doing.

I replace mine every 5000 miles, but I do mostly highway driving.

It recommends to use the search button, or get off your butt and check because it's quicker.

LOL Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to stick with 3-4 K since I drive mostly in town.

The versa holds so little oil it's not a big deal, just under 4qt.

Did my 1st one at 1500, the 2nd will be at 3000 and every 3000 after that.

Nice! You went and grab the manual after you've asked the question then I guess you've already gotten your answer since it is right there in the book.
