★ Top Answer
When the 2012 Nissan Frontier is powered by the 2.5-liter engine, it requires 4.6 liters (4.8 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil. If equipped with the optional 4.0-liter engine, it uses 5.1 liters (5.4 quarts) of the same viscosity oil. Nissan suggests changing this oil in the Frontier every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, the timing of the maintenance interval might vary based on your local conditions and driving habits. Your vehicle is fitted with an oil life indicator that will signal when it's time for a service appointment. Typically, the mechanic will reset this light during the service, but if they fail to do so or if you decide to change the oil yourself, you can reset it easily without any tools in just a few minutes. The average cost for an oil change at a dealership for the Frontier ranges from $110 to $140, covering labor expenses.
