For the 2016 Nissan Frontier, it is recommended to use 5W-30 Synthetic oil for both engines, regardless of the temperature. The truck requires 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter for the 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine, and 5.4 quarts with a filter for the 4.0 L V6 engine. The torque for the drain plug on both engines is 25 ft/lbs. Oil is crucial for maintaining the engine's cleanliness and ensuring optimal performance. It is essential to regularly change the oil, as it can deteriorate over time. In the Frontier, it is advised to change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The oil life indicator in your vehicle will signal when an oil change is due.
