The 2008 Nissan Pathfinder requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 6.5 quarts. The oil plays a vital role in lubricating internal engine components and removing contaminants, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly. The approximate cost for an oil change on your Pathfinder ranges from $40 to $50 for labor and $80 to $90 for parts. It is recommended to have an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or every 6 months, depending on which comes first. Warning signs that it's time for an oil change include engine ticking noises, transmission shifting problems, idling vibrations, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the Check Engine or Oil Change indicator lights illuminating.
Both the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder's available engine choices require 5W30 synthetic oil. The 4.0L V6 engine requires 5.4 quarts, and the 5.6L V8 engine requires 6.6 quarts of oil.
