For the 2001–2007 Nissan X-Trail (T30), engine oil specs and change intervals depend on which engine you’ve got. Since you didn’t mention yours, here’s the breakdown for all three:
QR20DE (2.0L petrol)
- Oil type: 5W-30 or 10W-30 (API SL or better)
- Capacity: ~3.6L (with filter)
- Change interval: Every 5,000–10,000 km (about 3,000–6,000 miles), depending on driving conditions
QR25DE (2.5L petrol)
- Oil type: 5W-30 or 10W-30 (API SL or better)
- Capacity: ~4.3L (with filter)
- Change interval: Every 5,000–10,000 km
YD22DDTi (2.2L diesel)
- Oil type: 5W-30 or 10W-40 (ACEA B3/B4 or better) — fully synthetic is ideal
- Capacity: ~4.6L (with filter)
- Change interval: Every 10,000 km or 6 months (whichever comes first)
Keep in mind, oil type might vary depending on year or region as well, so it's best to also check the owners manual for the most accurate spec.
