★ Top Answer
The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil. The 4.0l engine holds 5.4 quarts, while the 5.6l engine can contain 6.9 quarts of oil. Oil is crucial as it lubricates engine parts, safeguards the emission system, and can improve fuel efficiency. An oil change for your Pathfinder typically costs between $110 and $150 for labor and parts. It's recommended to get an oil change every 5,000 to 6,000 miles or every 5 to 6 months. Signs that indicate it's time for an oil change include increased engine noise, shaking at idle, excess exhaust, a smell of oil inside the vehicle, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.
