What’s the 2008 Nissan Sentra’s oil type?
My brother is letting me borrow his car, but part of the deal of him lending it to me is that I have to keep up with any maintenance that comes along. What type of oil will I need?

The 4.1-quart capacity engine will run best with synthetic oil, and you should be sure to change it every 7,500 miles or one year—whichever comes first.
Using synthetic-based oil over standard oil will help prevent deposit build-up which can damage your engine over time. Plus, with
regular maintenance
, you can extend your engine’s life and enjoy better gas mileage and performance. It’s nice that your brother is letting you borrow his car, but are you sure you have the right car insurance? You can make sure you’re legally covered to drive and protected by using Jerry.
