Why is an oil change important for a 2022 Nissan Altima?

• Preserves engine lubrication — fresh oil reduces friction and wear on the 2.5L inline‑4 components, helping the 188 hp engine run smoothly.
• Maintains fuel efficiency — a clean oil system helps retain the Altima's EPA-rated economy (about 28 city / 39 highway), protecting long‑term MPG.
• Prevents sludge and corrosion — timely changes remove contaminants that damage seals and internal parts, extending engine life.
• Protects resale value — documented dealer service using genuine Nissan parts shows buyers the vehicle was properly maintained.
