The Nissan Pathfinder runs on regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane and has a 19.5-gallon fuel tank. It's possible to use premium gas with 91 octanes in this vehicle, but it's not necessary and it costs more without providing any benefits. It's crucial to never use diesel in this car. If mistakenly added, do not start the engine and immediately have it towed to a mechanic to prevent costly damage. Letting diesel sit in the tank, even for a short period, can harm the tank and gas line. To open the gas tank, you can either use the car's button, the key fob, or manually pull it open with your hand.
I've observed that my Pathfinder runs quieter and smoother when I use 94 octane gasoline. With regular gas, I notice a faint knocking or ticking sound, but that disappears when I opt for premium. If you encounter a knocking noise like I did, I recommend trying premium gas to eliminate it - it did the trick for me.

I observed that the ride is quieter and smoother. I suggest using high-quality gasoline for my 2022 Nissan Pathfinder.
My SUV never had any problems and suddenly stopped working overnight. They checked it and so far nothing, it's a 2017 Patfinder Platinum 3.5. Anyone who knows anything about these trucks, I appreciate it.
