The 2009 Nissan Pathfinder requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil. The 4.0-liter engine needs 5.4 quarts of oil, while the 5.6-liter engine can hold 6.9 quarts. The oil is essential for keeping the engine cool, lubricated, and preventing parts from wearing out. An oil change for your Pathfinder typically costs between $50 and $60 for labor and $80 to $90 for parts. It's recommended to change your oil every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Signs that you may need an oil change include increased engine noise, transmission problems, shaking while idling, excess exhaust, or a noticeable oil smell inside the car.
