In the 2002 Nissan Pathfinder, you'll want to use 5w30 oil and pour in about 5.3 quarts for a refill. It's important to remember to change your oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to change the oil can lead to engine issues - using high-quality oil is vital for smooth operation.
