What kind of oil does a Dodge Nitro need?

Oil for Dodge Nitro
The Dodge Nitro requires 5W-20 motor oil for optimal performance. This type of motor oil is recommended for the Dodge Nitro and is easily available at most auto supply shops and gas stations. The full capacity of the oil reservoir is about five quarts, but it may not always require this much. It’s important to note that using 5W-20 oil is the best option for the Dodge Nitro, but if it’s not available, a semi-synthetic 10W-40 oil can be used as a substitute, although it’s not the optimal choice.
For the 2011 Dodge Nitro, SAE 5W-20 synthetic motor oil is recommended. Additionally, for the 2008 Dodge Nitro with a 3.7L V6 engine, 6 quarts of 5W-20 oil were used during an oil change.
It’s also worth noting that the oil capacity for a 2009 Dodge Nitro is approximately 4.7 liters for models equipped with a V6 engine, and the upgraded 4.0L engine will have a capacity of 5.7 US quarts, including the filter. Both engines require synthetic oil and need to have the oil changed every 7,500 miles, as indicated by the oil life indicator in the vehicle.
In summary, the Dodge Nitro requires 5W-20 motor oil for optimal performance, with specific recommendations for different engine models and capacities.
