The 2000 Nissan Xterra with a 2.4 L engine has an oil capacity of a little over 4 quarts while the 3.3 L engine oil capacity is about 3.5 quarts. A full synthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil is recommended for both of them. Chances are that a year 2000 model probably has a good amount of mileage put on it already so You may want to consider a high mileage oil. It's not mandatory but these types of oils help to reduce oil consumption a bit and they also include detergents that are meant to reduce some of the engine sludge that accumulates after years of driving. Just following Your manuals recommended maintenance times is another good way of making sure Your engine performs well. -
