6 common questions answered
Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2018 Nissan Murano has its oil changed?The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for replacing the oil filter every 5,000 miles.
Replacing the filter with the oil gives the 3.5-liter V6 a fresh element to capture debris. The vehicle’s service history and the manufacturer’s schedule determine when the service is due. An inspection can help clarify the next visit when records are incomplete.
- Filter matched to the 3.5-liter V6 engine
- New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable
- Leak check at the filter seal after the engine runs
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2018 Nissan Murano?The service includes an engine-matched oil filter, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a post-run leak check.
The filter is selected for the engine actually fitted to the Murano. The sealing surfaces are renewed with the appropriate gasket or washer when the engine uses one. After the engine has run, the filter seal is checked for leaks before the service is complete.
- Filter matched to the vehicle’s 3.5-liter V6
- Drain plug gasket or washer replacement where used
- Inspection for leaks at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2018 Nissan Murano is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered.
The filter holds debris carried away by the oil during engine operation. Once it loads, oil can still circulate, but it may bypass the filter element. A vehicle can therefore continue running while receiving unfiltered oil, which is why filter replacement is paired with the oil service.
- Debris remains captured until the filter loads
- The bypass valve can allow unfiltered oil circulation
- The manufacturer’s published interval is every 5,000 miles
Does a 2018 Nissan Murano need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the Murano’s 3.5-liter, six-cylinder V6 engine.
Oil filters are not interchangeable across engines because fit and filtration requirements depend on the engine being serviced. The correct filter is selected for the engine actually fitted to the vehicle. A service inspection and vehicle service history help confirm the maintenance needed at the visit.
- Engine displacement: 3.5 liters
- Engine configuration: six-cylinder V6
- Filter selected for this engine rather than another application
Can the oil be changed on a 2018 Nissan Murano without changing the filter?The filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule.
The filter collects debris from the oil, and a loaded filter can open its bypass valve so oil circulates unfiltered. Replacing the filter at the same service avoids carrying a loaded filtration element into the next oil cycle. The manufacturer’s published schedule calls for filter replacement every 5,000 miles.
- Fresh oil is paired with a fresh filtration element
- Debris is held by the replacement filter
- The filter seal is checked after the engine runs
