How to reset the oil change reminder on the 2013–2025 Nissan Murano
See also: Oil life reset by brand.
Nissan’s owner’s manuals handle the oil reminder from the vehicle information display: open Settings, select Maintenance, then Oil and Filter and reset the reminder. Newer models also have an Oil Control System item that resets the current oil interval; reset it only after an oil change.
Oil change tips
- A 5-quart jug plus a little extra covers one change on the V6; a 5-quart jug covers the 2025 turbo.
- Add a little less than the full capacity, check the dipstick, then top up.
- Nissan lists these as approximate capacities: after refilling, run the engine, turn it off, wait more than 10 minutes and check the level with the dipstick.
