Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2015-2024 (Z52); 2025+ Z53 switched to 2.0 VC-Turbo + 9AT Nissan Murano, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 5,000-7,500 mi / 6 mo (0W-20 full synthetic) |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE), 0W-20, Xtronic CVT (2015-2024). 2025+ Z53: 2.0L VC-Turbo + 9-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Nissan Murano note: On the 2015-2024 V6 Murano, the Xtronic CVT is the make-or-break maintenance item — proactive fluid changes (~30k) help avoid belt/pulley wear and CVT failure. The new 2025+ generation drops the CVT for a 9-speed automatic.
