The 2002 Nissan Frontier runs on top-tier SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil to maintain optimal engine performance. With a powerful 3.3-liter V6 engine under the hood, this vehicle requires 3.5 quarts of oil for each change. You can easily get this oil in one-quart containers at most retail stores, auto shops, or reputable online dealers. Prices can range from $2.49 to $15.38 per bottle, and plan on picking up at least three bottles for an oil change. Consider grabbing a funnel, costing between $.89 and $3.39, to make the process cleaner and easier.
For the 2002 Nissan Frontier, both the 3.3L V6 engine variants (VG33E H or VG33ER 1) need 3.5 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil. The 2.4L inline-4 engine in the same model requires 4.1 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil with 4WD selected, or 3.7 quarts with RWD chosen.
My 3.3-liter engine requires 5 quarts of 5W-30 oil.
Oh, oil cannot be both conventional and fully synthetic. The 3.3 engine requires 3.49 quarts of SEA-rated 5w-30 oil.
