Dumb Question

[SLOVAK69]

How much oil (in Liters) does my Pathfinder take. Its a 94, V6.

 

Thanks

Usually the capacity for 3.0L v6 engines is 3.5 quarts. Check your dipstick after that point to see what the oil level is.

 

As far as Liters, 3.5 quarts converts to 3.3 liters. Hope this helps

Yeah, if you've got the owners manual [which you prolly don't since you asked =)], it'll tell you all the fluid capacities somewhere in there...

Between 3.5 and 4 quarts total.

what would happen if you put too much?

[88pathoffroad]

A little too much, probably nothing. Two quarts or more too much, and it'd start burning oil cause it'd be spinning off the crank underneath the pistons and your rings would pull more up with them up into the combustion chamber from the bottom of the motor.

A little too much will probably cause extra foaming of the oil.

[SLOVAK69]

Yeah, thats kinda what I thaught. I put 4 litres in it after the last oil change, and it seems to be doing well. The dipstick was hard to rear because the oil was so clean.

 

Thanks

3 5/8 quarts, per the owner's manual.
