When choosing motor oil for your 2002 Nissan Xterra, look for a high-quality oil with either the API certification mark or an ILSAC grade of GF-I and II. It is recommended to use an oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-30 for all temperatures. If the temperatures are above 0°F, you can also use an oil with an SAE grade of 10W-30 or 40. It's a good idea to check the oil level regularly, ideally each time you fill up with gas, but at least once a month. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick from its tube, wipe it clean with a cloth, reinsert it all the way in, then pull it out again to verify the level by ensuring it falls between the marked indicators.
