Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2021-2024 (1.5L VC-Turbo) Nissan Rogue, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | ~5,000-7,500 mi / 6 mo; severe 5,000 mi |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 1.5L variable-compression turbo 3-cyl (KR15DDT); 0W-16 synthetic; Xtronic CVT |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Nissan Rogue note: Two things to know: (1) the 1.5 VC-Turbo is a novel variable-compression 3-cylinder; (2) it's still a Nissan CVT — proactive fluid changes (~30-60k) and keeping the CVT cool are the #1 longevity move.
