How to change the oil

1. Warm up the engine: Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to bring the oil to operating temperature, making it flow more easily.
2. Lift and secure: Safely lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Ensure the vehicle is level.
3. Locate drain plug: Place a drain pan under the oil pan. Loosen and remove the oil drain plug with the appropriate wrench.
4. Drain oil: Allow all the old oil to drain completely. This can take 10-15 minutes.
5. Replace drain plug: Install a new crush washer on the drain plug and thread it back into the oil pan. Torque to 25 lb-ft (34 Nm).
6. Remove oil filter: Locate the oil filter. Use an oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the old filter. Be prepared for some oil to spill.
7. Prepare new filter: Apply a thin film of new oil to the rubber gasket of the new oil filter.
8. Install new filter: Hand-tighten the new oil filter until the gasket makes contact, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 turn. Consult the filter manufacturer's instructions for specific torque recommendations if available.
9. Add new oil: Remove the oil filler cap on top of the engine. Slowly pour in the recommended amount and type of new oil.
10. Check oil level: Replace the oil filler cap. Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the oil. Shut off the engine, wait a few minutes, then check the oil level on the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary to reach the "full" mark.
11. Check for leaks: Inspect the drain plug and oil filter area for any leaks.
12. Reset maintenance reminder: Consult your owner's manual for instructions on how to reset the oil change reminder light.

Common issues / tips

• CVT Transmission: The 2015 Nissan Rogue uses a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). While not directly related to engine oil, it's a critical component, and regular maintenance of the CVT fluid is essential for the longevity of the vehicle. Do not confuse engine oil with CVT fluid.
• Oil Consumption: Some 2.5L QR25DE engines in certain Nissan models have been known to exhibit higher than normal oil consumption. While not rampant in the 2015 Rogue, it's wise to regularly check your oil level between changes, especially as the vehicle ages.
• Oil Filter Access: The oil filter on the 2015 Rogue is relatively easy to access from underneath the vehicle, making DIY oil changes straightforward.
