2021 Nissan Frontier Oil Capacity

The 2021 Nissan Frontier with the VQ38DD engine has an engine oil capacity of 5.3 qt and uses 0W-20 oil. These figures apply to the engine listed in the facts for this model year; oil capacity and viscosity can differ by year or engine, so do not assume the same specifications apply to every Frontier.

The 5.3 qt figure is the listed oil capacity, while 0W-20 identifies the specified oil viscosity. The amount needed during an oil change can depend on whether the filter is replaced, so check the oil level after servicing and follow the vehicle’s service instructions. No separate capacity for a different engine or trim is listed here.

If your Frontier has a different engine or you need a figure not shown here, confirm the specification on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual. Use the vehicle-specific information rather than relying on a capacity or oil grade listed for another year or engine.
