The amount of oil that the 2004 Nissan Xterra needs iS3.7 quarts with a filter for the 2.4 L 4Cylinder and 3.5 quarts with a filter for the 3.3 L V6 engine. The type that is recommended for the SUV is SAE 5W-30 Synthetic in all temperatures for both of the engines. Whenever You do an oil change You should also change the filter at the same time. The oil and the filter in the Xterra should be changed every 5,000 miles or SRX months, whichever comes first. The cost to change the oil in the vehicle is anywhere from $40 to $50 in just labor costs. Some of the tools needed to change it are a drain pan (unless You want to make a huge mess) gloves, ratchet, socket and socket extensions.
On a Nissan Xterra 6-cyn. 3.3 engine takes 5.4 quarts of oil, adding a new filter with every change. I change mine all the time.
