When to get your Nissan Patrol’s oil changed

It’s recommended that you get the oil changed in your Nissan Patrol every 5,000km to 10,000km (depending on the model) or every six to twelve months—whichever is sooner.

This is because Patrols tend to deal with more strenuous driving than say, a sedan or hatchback. If you do a lot of stop-start driving, this can also impact your Patrol’s oil level.

Not sure? Your mycar mechanic will be able to provide personalised advice on the interval that is best for your car.

What oil does a Nissan Patrol take?

Your Patrol will need different oil depending on whether you run a petrol or diesel engine, and the age of your Patrol can also impact which option is best.

You will want to select a synthetic oil, but to ensure that you get the right type for your Patrol, we suggest speaking to your mycar servicing experts.

How to change oil in a Nissan Patrol

Changing oil is something you can do if you know your way around your Nissan Patrol. Changing oil in a Nissan Patrol usually looks something like this:

1. For many models of Patrol, the first step is to run a flushing agent through your system. This can be added via your standard oil input.

2. Once your engine has had time to run the flush through the system (about 15 minutes), it's ready to drain.

3. You'll need to get under the car for this step so we suggest jacking it up or using a hoist—always ensure that the vehicle is stable and cannot fall before entering the space underneath.

4. Place a container to collect the used oil underneath the vehicle before removing the plug. Once the old oil has drained, switch your old filter out for the new one (remembering to lubricate the new filter slightly by running a little oil around the edge).

5. You're now ready to put everything back together and fill your engine up.
