What’s a Nissan Frontier’s oil type?

I usually take my Nissan Frontier into the shop for maintenance, but this time around I want to do it all on my own. What kind of oil does a Nissan Frontier need?

Great job learning how to do the work for yourself—you’ll also save a nice chunk of change. As for oil types, the
Nissan Frontier
takes 5W-30 oil in both the 2.5-liter i-4 and the 4.0-liter V6 engines.
Keep an eye on your oil capacity, as well. The 4-cylinder will take 4.9 quarts, while the V6 takes 5.4 quarts. Depending on the brand, you’ll pay between $5 to $10 per quart.
Be sure to change your oil and oil filter regularly to keep your engine running smoothly and prevent issues like
oil pump malfunction
. And if you drive a lot, consider using high mileage oil, which is designed for cars with more than 75,000 miles.
