What type of oil does a 2007 Dodge Nitro use?

The 2007 Dodge Nitro requires about 4.7 liters of SAE 5W-20 engine oil, but it's fine to use 5W-30 oil as an alternative if the other isn't on hand. It's best to change this oil every 6,000 miles or 60 months, whichever comes first. Your specific maintenance routine might differ based on your local conditions and driving habits. It's advised to regularly check the oil, even if it's not quite time for a replacement yet, in order to prevent damage and maintain peak performance by avoiding old, thick, or low oil levels. Before checking or changing the oil, make sure the engine has been allowed to cool for at least five minutes to avoid any potential injuries. Fresh oil is typically amber in color and somewhat see-through, but as it ages, it accumulates particles, causing it to darken and thicken. When oil is old, it loses its ability to effectively lubricate and cool the engine.
