The 2002 Nissan Xterra uses SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil with a capacity of 5.0 US quarts. You can purchase this oil at various mass retail locations, automotive parts stores, or online from reputable sellers. The price ranges from $3.16 to $14.82 per bottle. If you opt for professional assistance from a technician or mechanic for the oil change, expect to pay an extra $42 to $185 for labor. Consider investing in a funnel for $1 to $3 to avoid spills during the process. It is recommended to get an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
