What is the 2008 Nissan Frontier oil type?

I have an old 2008 Nissan Frontier that’s still in great shape. I’m due for an oil change, but I’d like to do it myself—what kind of oil do I need?

Regular maintenance is one of the best things you can do to maintain a car! For your 2008
Nissan Frontier
, the type and amount of oil you’ll need depends on your engine. The base 2.5 L four-cylinder engine requires 5.2 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil, while the 4.0 L V6 engine needs 5.4 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil.
On top of an oil change, you should also consider checking out the following maintenance items:
  • Replace engine oil and filter
  • Tire rotation
  • Axle and suspension inspection
  • Brake pad and rotor inspection
  • Drums and linings inspection
  • Drive shaft boots inspection
  • Exhaust system inspection
  • Front suspension ball joints inspection
  • Propeller shaft (4WD/AWD/RWD) inspection
  • Steering gear and linkage inspection
  • Steering linkage ball joints inspection
