@curday333 It depends what type and whether or not it has a turbo. A lot of engines take between 4 and 4 1/2 litres of oil. Some require the engine is up to operating temperature and switched off for a few minutes in order to take a true level reading. It does depend on the car. You're best putting in 3 litres, leaving, then looking at the dipstick, then topping up until it shows. I would say too much oil causes damage together with not enough!
@avasque5 In the video they recommend 5-30 oil, which is what the 2005 Altima owner's manual recommends. Check your owner's manual for the proper oil. I'd check with your regular mechanic before using other weights.
Actually oil does break down and just doesn't get dirty. Engine oil contains a lot of additives which are polymers (big molecules). These are literally broken down (imagine breaking a kitkat bar). But the dirty oil can be sent to a refinery to be reprocessed, and the base oil can be recovered. The additives cannot.
what is that tool call. The one you first use the black socket wrench with several different size heads. Very cool what is it call and where can I get one.
i wonder is still necessary to change the oil every 3,000 miles? I heard that new engines can run little bit longer before change the oil?

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S 4cyl and it has 76k. And I'm wondering can I use regular motor oil or synthetic? Thanks!

Changing the oil is great but don't forget to check coolant too

Regular oil changes ARE very important.
