The 2000 Nissan Xterra comes with either a 2.4 L or a 3.3 L engine, each requiring specific oil capacities of a little over 4 quarts and about 3.5 quarts, respectively. It is recommended to use a full synthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil for both engines. Since a 2000 model likely has accumulated significant mileage, you might want to consider switching to a high mileage oil, though it's not necessary. These oils can help reduce oil consumption and clean engine sludge that builds up over years of driving. Additionally, sticking to your manual's recommended maintenance schedule is crucial for ensuring optimal engine performance.
I checked the oil level in my car and found it barely registering on the dipstick. The engine was cool, but the car wouldn't start. If I change the oil and filter, is there a chance that my engine will be saved?
Four quarts.
I can paraphrase that for you. How about this: "The Nissan Xterra from 2003"?
My husband passed away and I've fallen behind on properly maintaining my cars. Today, my car wouldn't start and the oil level is extremely low. I'm worried that my engine might be damaged beyond repair.
The 2000 Nissan Xterra can hold 3.75 Quarts of oil if it has a 2.4 L engine, and 3.5 Quarts if it has a 3.3 L engine.
