The 2001 Nissan Frontier with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine requires 3.7-4.1 US quarts of 5W-30 oil along with a filter. To keep the engine running smoothly, it is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or once a year if using synthetic oils, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or every six months for conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers advantages such as improved lubrication for engine parts, longer time between service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner synthetic oil flows more easily in cold temperatures, providing optimal protection against friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil change with filter typically ranges from $110 to $130 including materials and labor.
In the 2001 Nissan Frontier, if you've got the 2.4L inline-4 engine in the rear-wheel-drive model, you'll need 3.7 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil. But with the same engine in the 4WD version, you'll need 4.1 quarts of the same oil. For both versions of the 3.3L V6 engine (engine code VG33E H and VG33ER 1) in the 2001 Frontier, you'll need 3.5 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil each.
