Nissan Frontier Oil Capacity Specs
| APPLICATION / ITEM | SPECIFICATION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Oil and filter change | 5.25 US qt | 5.0 L; 4-3/8 Imperial qt |
| Oil change, filter retained | 5.0 US qt | 4.7 L; 4-1/8 Imperial qt |
| Recommended viscosity | SAE 0W-20 | Synthetic |
| Required quality | API SP / ILSAC GF-6A | Final level by dipstick |
Nissan recommends Genuine Nissan 0W-20 SP or an equivalent synthetic SAE 0W-20 meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6A. The manual calls both quantities approximate because oil temperature and drain time affect the refill. Add less than the listed amount first, run the engine, inspect for leaks, shut it down, wait more than 10 minutes on level ground and use the dipstick to establish the final level.

How much oil does a 2024 Nissan Frontier take?+

Which oil does Nissan recommend?+
Genuine Nissan 0W-20 SP, or an equivalent synthetic SAE 0W-20 meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6A.

No. The older 2.5L four-cylinder and 4.0L V6 trucks use different rows, so a familiar figure from an earlier generation should not be carried forward.
Why does Nissan call the quantity approximate?+
Oil temperature and drain time change how much comes out and therefore how much goes back in. Add less than the listed amount first, run the engine, inspect for leaks, shut it down, wait more than 10 minutes on level ground and set the final level from the dipstick.
