★ Top Answer
The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder requires 4.5 liters (4.8 quarts) of 0W-20 synthetic engine oil, which doesn't have to be changed as frequently as traditional oil. Nissan suggests replacing the oil every 7,500 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first. However, if you tow often, drive on dirt roads, or take long trips at low speeds, you might need to change the oil more often. If you'd like to perform the oil change yourself, you might want to consider brands like Valvoline SynPower, Castrol Edge, Mobil 1, or Royal Purple. On average, getting the oil changed in a 2018 Pathfinder costs between $110 and $140, with labor typically making up $40 to $60 of that total.

The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder utilizes the same engine size across all trim levels, resulting in the requirement for consistent use of fully synthetic oil. Specifically, the SL, SV, S, and Platinum trims all rely on 0w-20 viscosity oil for optimal performance.
