Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil

Express test of the oil quality in your engine

With the help of a simple test, you can find out about the quality of the oil that protects the engine of your car at this moment. To do this, remove the dipstick and drop a drop from it onto a sheet of paper. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then compare the resulting drop pattern.

Repairing a motor is a very costly and unpleasant undertaking, therefore, in order to extend the resource power unit and to protect it from overheating, it is better to use the recommended engine oil for Nissan pathfinder... Any deviation from the manufacturer's recommended motor oil parameters may violate performance characteristics engine or cause it to break.

Gasoline car engines

In the operating instructions for the Nissan Pathfinder, the car manufacturer recommends lubricants that meet the parameters:

• original Nissan motor fluids;
• according to API classifications- oil type SH or SG;
• liquids with the designation "Energy Conserving II", which means: able to save the consumption of the fuel mixture;
• having the Сertification Mark inscription indicating the quality mark according to the API system;
• the viscosity of the motor oil is selected according to scheme 1;
• the approximate volume of engine oil required for a change is 3.7 liters including the filter device and 3.4 liters excluding the oil filter.

Car oil 5w - 30 is used at temperatures from -30 ° С (or less) to +40 ° С (and more), 10w - 30 is used if the air temperature is above -18 ° С.

According to the manual, the recommended engine oil for Nissan Pathfinder is selected according to the type of power unit.

Gasoline-powered car engines

The manufacturer Nissan Pathfinder is recommended to fill in motor oils with the following parameters:

• original Nissan lubricants;
• oil quality class according to API classification - SG, SH, SJ or SL;
• in accordance with ILSAC standards - GF-1, GF-2, GF-3, GF-4;
• on ACEA classification- A2;
• the volume of the required lubricant when changing, taking into account the oil filter, is 5.1 liters, excluding the filter unit - 4.8 liters;
• viscosity motor fluid selected according to scheme 2

Diesel power units

1. Vehicles equipped with a particulate filter (DPF):

• according to ACEA classification - C3;
• greases with the designation "LOW ASH", which means low ash;
• viscosity SAE 5W-30;
• the parameter of high temperature viscosity at high shear rate is HTHS3.5.

1. Cars without particulate filter(DPF):

• in accordance with the API classification - CF-4, it is prohibited to use - API CG-4;
• viscosity parameters lubricant are selected according to scheme 2;
• according to ACEA standards - B1, B3, B4 or B5.

The amount of engine oil required for replacement is:

• 6.9 liters including the oil filter;
• 6.4 liters excluding the filter unit.

According to scheme 2, you need to pour the following types of grease:

• at temperature conditions from -30 ° С (or less) to +40 ° С (and more), pour 5w - 30;
• if the temperature is above -20 ° C, 10w - 30 is used; 10w - 40; 10w - 50;
• when the thermometer reads more than -15 ° C, 15w - 40 is used; 15w - 50;
• if the air temperature is more than -10 ° С, use 20w - 40; 20w - 50.

The manufacturer indicated that it is preferable to cast lubricating fluid 5w - 30.

Nissan Pathfinder R52 from 2014

Gasoline car engines

• original oil NISSAN Ester Oil, which helps to reduce the consumption of the fuel mixture;
• according to API classification - SL, SM or SN;
• in accordance with ILSAC classification- GF-3, GF-4, GF-5;
• according to the ACEA system - A1 / B1, A3 / B3, A3 / B4, A5 / B5, C2 or C3;
• selection of viscosity motor lubricant produced according to scheme 3;
• the approximate volume of car oil that will be required for replacement is 4.8 liters with an oil filter change and 4.5 liters without changing an oil filter.

The decoding of scheme 3 is similar to scheme 2, except for oil 5w - 40, which is used if temperature Range ranges from -30 ° C (or less) to +40 ° C (or more). The manufacturer recommended pouring motor oil 5w - 30.

Conclusion

The recommended engine oil for Nissan Pathfinder can protect the internal elements of the engine from abrasion, overheating, corrosion, carbon deposits. The engineers of the plant - the manufacturer of the machine select the class, type, viscosity of the required lubricant, which ensures stable and long-term operation of the engine. Engine oils suitable for a particular type of engine have the machine manufacturer's approvals printed on the lubricant canister.

Also, the manual indicates the temperatures at which it is necessary to apply a lubricant of a certain density. Thick liquids, recommended for summer, more fluid - for winter, all-season are used in a certain temperature range. Please note: the instructions do not contain recommendations regarding the basic base of a car oil (synthetic, semi-synthetic or mineral), but it must be taken into account when choosing a motor lubricant.

Oil change for Nissan Pathfinder albeit a simple matter, but terribly inconvenient (in particular, replacing the oil filter is difficult due to its location). All you need is:

• head to "14"(unscrew the drain plug);
• key on 10" unscrew the hatch in the protection to get to the oil filter;
• and of course fresh oil (volume and specification depend on the engine), as well as new oil filter and preferably a new copper ring for the drain bolt (although it is often changed only after a few oil change cycles).

When to change and what kind of oil to fill in Pathfinder

Periodicity oil changes installed 10,000 km run or once a year. The oil filter is changed at the same time as the engine oil.

Filling volume engine 2.5 is 6.9 liters new oil (according to other sources - 7,5 ). For engine 4.0 this volume is 5.1 liters. It is recommended to fill in the original Nissan oil with a viscosity of SAE 5W40 or 5W30.

• Number of 5 liter canister NISSAN oils 5W40 - KE90090042R. Canister of the same oil for 2 liters - KE90090032R.
• The number of the original oil filter for the engine 2.5 is 15208BN30A. Analogues: MAHLE C236, MANN FILTER W92048, BOSCH 986452003, PURFLUX LS149 and others.
• The number of the original oil filter for the 4.0 engine is 152089F600. Analogues: MANN FILTER W671, MAHLE C1052, BOSCH 986452061, ALCO FILTER SP1002 and others.
• The number of the original drain plug gasket for the engine 2.5 is 013511204M.

How to change oil in Pathfinder

Before starting the procedure, the engine is always warmed up for 5-10 minutes.

To make it convenient to get to drain plug and the oil filter, it is better to install the car in the inspection pit.

In general, the process is simple, many know how to change the oil without any instructions, nevertheless, to see clearly in the photo for the owners, I think it will be interesting to look through the slides.

We buy an oil filter and a drain bolt washer.

We take out necessary tool for replacement. In addition to the keys, also take a suitable container for draining the oil (7 liters).

We open the hood and slightly open the oil filler cap (so to speak, depressurization of the system).

Using a 14 spanner wrench, unscrew the cork from the pallet (after substituting the container).

When unscrewing the bolt, be careful, because it is unforgettable that the oil temperature is about 80 degrees, you can get burned (therefore, it is better to do everything with gloves).

We try to lose the copper ring in case we forgot to buy it to replace it with a new one, or if it is included in the kit, then do not forget to change it before tightening the drain bolt back (the oil drains for about 15 minutes).

We tighten the bolt, but without fanaticism.

Now we are looking for where the oil filter is located. In this case, it is behind the protection hatch., Therefore, in order to get to it and unscrew it, you will need to unscrew two bolts.
