With a dry filter, the 2009 Nissan Frontier requires 5.1 liters (5.39 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Popular options for oil brands are Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Castrol Edge, Royal Purple, Valvoline SynPower, and Mobil 1. Nissan suggests changing this oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. If you often drive in dusty conditions or at low speeds for long distances, it's important to do this more frequently. It's crucial to check the oil regularly to prevent engine damage. Remember to check it after the engine has cooled down to avoid injuries. If you opt to have this service done at a dealership, expect to pay around $110 to $130, which includes labor costs.
