2007 Nissan Xterra Off Road - Page 6 Questions & Answers
I have a 2000 Nissan
On the 2.4, 3.75quarts with filter change. On the 3.3 with 4wd, 4.125 quarts(2wd 3.75 quarts) Best way to do it however, Once you've drained and refitted the plug, fill with about 3 quarts. Start up and let it idle about a minute. Shut down and let it stand a minute. Check the level. It should be between the two marks on the dipstick. If not add a pint of oil. Let it stand another minute and check again. Repeat until the level is between the 2 marks on the dipstick.
It takes time for new oil to drain to the sump. Hence the 1 minute waiting period.
If you changed the filter, it needs to be refilled by oil pump, which is why you need to let it idle about a minute.
Do NOT rev the motor directly after an oil change in order to clear the oil warning light earlier. Just let it idle.
Xterra won't start,running fine on way to work,2 hours later it cranks fine but won't start
What is model year? If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse, engine cranking.
I realize some vehicles have coil on plug ignition that makes it a little more awkward to visually check for spark, but, the diagnostics still applies. As far as checking fuel pressure, some fuel rails have no Schrader valve, so it's a little more awkward to check fuel pressure, even so, the diagnostic tests still applies.
Can you check applicable trouble codes? When problem is ongoing, can you check for rpm signal?
