How to Perform an Oil Change on a 2022 Nissan Frontier PRO4X 

Almost the same as I have done on mine; other than I started to remove the entire engine skid plate makes oil changes actually easier. Also, I'll stick to Pennzoil ultra premium. YOU DO NOT have to use the oil they recommend, just the correct SPI spec and a 0W20 grade oil. Nothing wrong with Mobil. You should add that for those who are watching and know no better. If the cover is back on, how do you check for drips? You could have a drip and it will remain in the skid till you start to move or enough accumulates to drip out! I would highly recommenced to leave the cover off until about 10 minutes AFTER you shut the vehicle down from the start/run period. Of better yet, just drop the entire engine skid plate and not have to worry about oil getting on the skid plate. I usually wait a good 15-20 minutes after the engine has been shut down before re-installing the skids. (Your engine, your drips and in all likelihood if all is installed correctly, not drips. But if there are some, takes a while to show up due to the skid plate holding the oil.) Also for first time, removal of the front (silver) skid, be careful....known problem from the plant that those four bolts might have been cross-threaded by some dude with an impact on the assembly line. Mine were, known a few others that had the same problem. Nice part is those bolts go into a removable bracket, one of each side (also holds in the nice red tow hooks) and usually you can use a tap to chase the threads and possibly a die to fix the bolts...bracket is held in place by two bolts. However, the bolts on the skid plate are cheap and I believe, designed to be destroyed vs. the bracket. Not expensive and my dealer carries them in high numbers since they agree, those bolts are known to be cross-threaded at the plant. Your being used means that problem was already fixed if it was there. (I'm sure the plant gets a few of them right.)

Thanks brother. I have a new Frontier and I’ll be looking out for more of your videos. Enjoy Alaska!

thank you for the video, luv the funnel idea on the filter pretty kool man..

Very Useful thankyou. O'rileys have a bunch of filters that fit this trucks engine. Your good with a wix filter and the whole job costs 65 dollars here in Connecticut and given that you buy an extra quart just to cover that five and a quarter that extra quart will do 4 oil changes. Knowing you did it right for half the cost of a garage is the reason I will do mine. They give the oil and filter changes to the guy who sweeps the floors. You are always better off doing the job yourself.

Nice job doing your own maintenance is best, you can be as clean and particular as you want.

Valvoline extended protection full synthetic is excellent oil.

You have a beautiful farm dude 😎

Tin Foil works really well too! i do that for my cub cadet mower cause the filter is sideways and right at the frame so it would literally just pour onto the frame. Not sure what they were thinking a bracket would have been just fine to direct the oil

We have the same exact Pro4X.

A little oil draining onto the chassis/frame is not going to hurt anything. Made that way too difficult. The water bottle/funnel. Hell, I don't even bother with the inspection plate anymore. Can reach the filter from the side/bottom. I have a 23' pro4x. I don't remove the skid plate or anything. Easy. Most important, change the oil frequently. I do every 5k miles with mobile one 0w-20.

majority of the filter oil will drain on the factory drip thing, i just wish they extended it about 1/2" longer to clear the sway bar. still a better design than f*rd where they have the drip thing but it leaks out by the diff

Thanks for watching! I hope this helped answer some questions for those looking to do oil changes themselves! What type of Nissan Frontier to you have and what’s your favorite thing about the truck?

Hello Nick Boris. We have a product that we want you to make a Review video for us. How can I contact you?

For the cost of the oil and filter and the hassle of getting rid of the old oil, I just can’t justify changing my own oil anymore.

This truck has a built in drain for the oil filter....... just like my old titan.

Where did you get 20 ft/lbs? Is that in the manual? I thought i saw 22-29 but i may be wrong

You put the plate back on before running check for leaks dangerous

You had better get after that surface rust on the frame... - fluid film it!

Wow, what a terrible design by Nissan for the oil change. IMHO, the better or best oil for the money right now is Pennzoil Ultra Premium. That stuff is amazing!! Nice truck!!
