For the 2004 Nissan Frontier, it is recommended to use 5W-30 Synthetic oil. The truck's oil capacity is 3.7 quarts with a filter for the 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine, and 3.5 quarts with a filter for the 3.3 L V6 engine. When tightening the drain plug, the torque should be between 22-29 ft/lbs for both engines. The purpose of oil is to maintain engine cleanliness and provide lubrication to reduce friction. It is important to change the oil regularly as it doesn't last forever. For the Frontier, an oil change should be done every 5,000 miles, including a filter replacement. The cost of an oil change typically ranges from $20 to $30 for labor.
Here is the information phrased differently: In the 2004 Nissan Frontier, the standard 2.4L inline-4 engine needs 3.7 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil. If you opt for one of the two available 3.3L V6 engines, each of them requires 3.5 quarts of 5W30 oil.
