What is the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder’s oil type?

We just bought our son a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder and I want to teach him how to change the oil—but I don’t know which one to use. What is the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder’s oil type?

It’s fantastic that you’re teaching your kid how to be self-reliant! The 2003
Nissan Pathfinder
uses 5W-30 synthetic motor oil.
The 2003 Nissan Pathfinder came standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine for all models. The motor oil capacity for your son’s SUV is 5.3 quarts with the filter and Nissan suggests changing the oil out every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to keep your Pathfinder in proper running order. Additionally, don’t forget to check your Nissan Owner’s Manual to keep up with the rest of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule.
Teaching your child how to change their own oil will not only save them time but money as well. And if you both want to save further on car-related expenses, then you should definitely look into
