What are signs my 2020 Nissan Sentra needs an oil change?An oil-change reminder light, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a louder ticking engine note can indicate that service is due.

A reminder light or mileage past the last service is a practical reason to arrange an appointment. If the engine sounds louder at startup or the dipstick shows a low level, contact Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa for guidance.
