2025 Nissan Rogue — Oil Capacity & Filter Specs

Quick answer

The 2025 Nissan Rogue takes 4.9 quarts (4.6 liters) of engine oil with a filter change.

• Capacity (with filter): 4.9 qt (4.6 L)
• Recommended oil weight: 0W-20 full synthetic
• Oil specification: API SP, ILSAC GF-6A (or Genuine Nissan 0W-20 or equivalent)
• Oil filter (OEM): Verify by VIN with your Nissan dealer; commonly 15208-65F0E on late-model Nissans
  • Popular cross-refs: Fram XG6607 (Ultra), Mobil 1 M1-110A, Wix 51356

Capacity by engine option

Note: Always verify by VIN and check the under-hood label/owner’s manual. Some regional variations and running changes can alter capacities and part supersessions.

Oil change interval

• Normal service: Every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
• Severe service (frequent short trips, extreme temps, heavy stop‑and‑go, dusty roads, or extended idling): Every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

The 1.5L VC‑Turbo is sensitive to oil quality. Use a high-quality full synthetic 0W‑20 meeting API SP/ILSAC GF‑6A and replace the filter at every change. If you do many short trips where the engine rarely reaches full operating temperature, consider following the severe schedule.

Drain plug torque

• Drain plug torque: 25 ft‑lb (34 N·m)
• Crush washer: Replace at every service. Nissan uses a 14 mm aluminum crush washer; consult the dealer for the exact washer part number for your VIN.

Proper torque and a fresh washer help prevent pan thread damage and seepage on the aluminum oil pan.

How to change the oil

1. Warm the engine briefly, then shut off. Raise and support the front of the vehicle safely and remove the lower engine under‑cover access panel.
2. Place a drain pan, remove the drain plug, and let the oil drain completely. Replace the crush washer and torque the plug to 25 ft‑lb.
3. Spin off the old oil filter (use a cap wrench if needed). Lightly oil the new filter’s gasket and install until the gasket contacts the seat, then tighten 3/4 turn by hand (or torque if the filter specifies).
4. Add 4.6–4.8 qt of 0W‑20, then start the engine and check for leaks. Shut off, wait a few minutes, and top off to the full mark. Final fill is typically 4.9 qt with filter.
5. Reset the maintenance reminder in the dash menu and reinstall the under‑cover securely.

Common issues / tips for this generation

• VC‑Turbo care: The variable‑compression turbo engine depends on clean, correct‑viscosity oil to actuate its compression mechanism and protect the turbocharger. Avoid extended oil change intervals and always use API SP/GF‑6A 0W‑20.
• Oil level accuracy: After running and then shutting down, wait 5–10 minutes before checking the dipstick on level ground. Slight overfill can increase crankcase windage and may affect fuel dilution management on short‑trip driving.
• Under‑cover fasteners: The Rogue’s splash shield uses multiple clips and bolts. Have a few spare push‑pins on hand and avoid overtightening the plastic retainers.
• Filter selection: If you prefer OEM, confirm the latest superseded Nissan filter number by VIN (many late‑model Nissans use 15208‑65F0E). Quality aftermarket filters like Fram XG6607, Mobil 1 M1‑110A, or Wix 51356 offer robust media for turbo applications.
• Turbo cooldown: After sustained highway or hill climbs, let the engine idle 30–60 seconds before shutdown to stabilize turbo temperatures—this helps protect the oil from coking in the turbo’s center housing.
• Software updates: Nissan has issued periodic calibration updates on late‑model Rogues to refine drivability and efficiency. During service visits, ask the dealer to check for ECM/TCM updates.
