How to change oil for Nissan Pathfinder

1. Partially remove plastic splash under front of car. Remove the first 5 bolts on the passenger side of car. I used to take the whole thing off, but I’ve gotten lazy, since I can just peel it back and access the oil filter.

2. Have container to catch oil ready.

3. Unscrew bolt a little at oil tank located approximately under passenger side of dash.

4. Remove oil cap under hood. Unscrew bolt at oil tank completely and drain oil tank.

5. Pull back plastic splash and locate the oil filter, slide oil catcher under oil filter to catch any oil still in the filter and unscrew the old oil filter. It is slightly to the passenger side pointing forward and down.
6. Fill new oil filter with new oil, rub oil around rubber washer and screw on new filter.

7. Screw bolt back onto oil tank.
8. Add 5 1/8 quarts oil.
9. Screw oil cap back on and check oil level with dipstick.
10. Screw in bolts for plastic splash.
