★ Top Answer
The 2003 Nissan Xterra with a 3.3 L engine has an oil capacity of 3.49 quarts. The manual recommends using SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil, but you can opt for a conventional oil of the same type if you prefer. Synthetic oil offers benefits such as longer-lasting engine protection compared to conventional oil, as it does not break down as quickly. It also has fewer impurities, resulting in less sludge and deposits in your engine, keeping it cleaner. By following the maintenance schedule for oil changes, you can extend the life of your vehicle regardless of the type of oil you use.
