Oil Type for 2009 Dodge Nitro
The 2009 Dodge Nitro is recommended to use SAE 5W-20 synthetic motor oil [[5]]. This type of motor oil is readily available at most auto supply shops and gas stations. It’s important to note that the full capacity of the oil reservoir is about five quarts, but it may not always require this much.
For models equipped with a V6 engine, the motor oil capacity is approximately 4.7 liters. However, for the upgraded 4.0L engine, the capacity is 5.7 US quarts including the filter, and it should run on 10W-30 oil.
It’s essential to use synthetic oil for both engine types, and the oil should be changed every 7,500 miles, as indicated by the oil life indicator in the vehicle.
In summary, for a 2009 Dodge Nitro, the recommended oil type is SAE 5W-20 synthetic motor oil, with specific capacities depending on the engine type.

Can I use 5w30 instead of 5W20 in my Dodge?
Having said that, 5w30 isn’t going to hurt anything. It says 5w30 is acceptable if 5w20 is not available, that’s all.
Does Dodge use full synthetic oil?
Again, there’s no manufacturer we’re aware of that makes this recommendation. Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Corvette, Volkswagen, Hyundai and many other manufacturers’ vehicles come from the factory with synthetic oil. Myth: Using a synthetic oil voids a car’s warranty.

What oil does a 4.0 take?
Yep, I run 10W-30. I’d only run 5W-30 in the Winter months if you lived somewhere where it got really, really cold! But other than that, any brand works. These 4.0 engines are not high performance engines that require synthetic or anything fancy.
