In the 2012 Nissan Xterra, it is recommended to use SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 5.4 quarts. This oil helps keep the engine parts cool, lubricated, and prevents them from wearing out. An oil change for your Xterra typically costs between $40 to $50 for labor and $80 to $90 for parts. It is advised to get an oil change every 5,000 miles. Signs indicating that you need an oil change include increased engine noise, shaking while idling, excess vehicle exhaust, an oil smell inside the car, or if the Check Engine or Oil Change lights come on.
