How many quarts of oil do I use on a nissan xterra 2005 and what kind of oil

If it has a gauge than its a three wire. Grey, white, black are the wire colors.

3.5 qts. oil 5w-30 with filter change.

engine oil ??20/50 will do ,gearbox ATF

your pvc valve not working.or you have leaking valve seals or worn valve guides wornrings .and your oil return holes get stop up oil.

I own a 2005 Xterra Off Road and if yours is an "Off Road" model, you have skid plates. Your oil filter is located behind a little door on the bottom of one of the skids. Two screws hold the door on. As for the oil pan, it is most likely just hidden by a skid as well. It will be on the very bottom of the engine.

sounds like an oil pressure sening unit un plug it whilf its running and see if the gauge goes too zero,if not then the prob is the gauge, the sending unit is only about 15.00 at auto zone and easy too put in

The 3.3liter motor requires 3.8 quarts of oil. 5w30 should be a good oil for the extreme conditions required in your climate. Most new car manufacturers now recommend 5w30w so that says volumes - hope this helps!

inner timing cover y shaped oil gallery gaskets..make your own or order the complete cover..costs from nissan are 500 canadian for the cover and around 1500 total for the replacement.oil pressure goes back up immediately after the install..alot of work to replace a cheezy piece of paper...
