The 2004 Nissan Xterra requires SAE 5W-30 oil for its engine. Nissan suggests using synthetic oil for better performance. Synthetic oil offers extended life and enhanced wear protection compared to conventional oil. With synthetic oil, you can go 7,500 miles between changes, rather than the 3,500 to 5,000 miles typically needed with conventional oil. I advise checking your oil monthly. During this check, ensure it is at the proper level and clean to avoid any potential engine damage.
The owners manual for the 2003 Nissan Xterra recommends using SAE 5W-30 synthetic motor oil for optimal performance.
