★ Top Answer
The 2004 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that requires 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil in all conditions, or 10W-30 or 10W-40 in temperatures above 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The vehicle can hold 7.3 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 22-28 ft/lbs. Using the right oil is crucial for maintaining a clean and efficient engine. Oil needs to be changed periodically as it doesn't last indefinitely. It is recommended to change both the oil and filter every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The typical cost for an oil change ranges from $40 to $50 for labor. The duration of the oil change process varies from 10 to 20 minutes depending on your level of experience.

I have no idea what kind of nonsense you guys are spouting, but when dealing with a colder climate, you should actually use a lower viscosity. You got it all mixed up. And just to clarify, the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder does not require 7.3 quarts of oil; if you try to use that much, you'll mess everything up. Do they even bother to proofread or verify these responses?

In colder weather, it's best to opt for a lower viscosity oil and save the higher viscosity options for warmer climates.
