The recommended oil type for the 2000 Nissan Pathfinder is 5W-30 for all temperatures. If you live in a place where the temperature stays above 0F, you can use 10W-30 or 10W-40. The oil capacity of the Pathfinder is 3.9 US quarts with a filter. When changing the oil, be sure to replace the oil filter as well to avoid mixing old oil with new oil, which could shorten the oil lifespan and potentially contaminate the engine. It's a good idea to check the oil level weekly and add more when needed. I always keep a spare bottle of oil in my trunk so I can top it off whenever necessary.
The recommended oil for the 2000 Nissan Pathfinder is synthetic motor oil with an SAE grade of 5W-30.
