How often should I change my Nissan Micra's engine oil?

I recently purchased a used Nissan Micra and I'm unsure about how often I should change the engine oil. Some people say every 3,000 miles, others say every 6,000 miles. I want to ensure my car's engine remains in good condition for as long as possible, so what is your recommendation?

According to the Nissan Micra owner's manual, the recommended oil change interval is every 5,000 miles. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in extreme weather conditions, it is best to change your oil more frequently, such as every 3,000 miles.

Personally, I change my Nissan Micra's engine oil every 3,000 miles just to be on the safe side. It may be a bit excessive, but it gives me peace of mind knowing that my car's engine is always running on clean oil.

I would recommend consulting with a trusted mechanic or dealership for specific advice for your individual driving habits and vehicle. They will be able to give you a more tailored recommendation.
