Nissan Versa Engine Oil Guide

The Nissan Versa was produced from 2007 to 2025. This model typically uses 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil — a specification common to most Nissan Ver-series vehicles.

Selecting the correct oil viscosity for your Nissan Versa is essential. Using a grade that is too thin reduces protection at operating temperature, while too thick an oil impairs cold-start flow and reduces fuel economy. Always match the exact grade shown for your specific model year.

The recommended oil change interval for the Nissan Versa is every 10,000 miles or 12 months. Under severe driving conditions — track use, towing, or frequent cold starts — shorten this interval by 25–30%.

When servicing your Nissan Versa, always replace the oil filter at every oil change. Using a quality filter — such as the Mann or Mahle filters specified for Nissan engines — ensures proper oil pressure and prevents unfiltered oil from circulating through the engine.

Oil change costs for the Nissan Versa at a US dealership or independent European specialist typically range from $120 to $200 for a full synthetic service. DIY oil changes cost approximately $60–$90 in parts (oil + filter) and take about 30 minutes with the right tools.

Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the exact specification for your specific trim and engine variant, as some Nissan Versa configurations may have different requirements.

⚠ Important for Nissan

Nissan engines require BMW Longlife-approved full synthetic oil. Using non-approved conventional oil can damage the variable valve timing (VANOS) system and void your warranty.

Oil Level Check

Nissan engines may consume small amounts of oil between services. Check the oil level via the iDrive display or dipstick every 1,000 miles to avoid running low, especially in older models.
