2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Published repairs below cite a manual or a manufacturer chart. Coming soon pages are names only. Capacities and torque on this year stay on this year.

This year uses the 2017 Pathfinder owner's manual. The March 2017 supplement in that PDF is the panoramic-sunshade note, not the fluid table.

Oil, coolant, spark plugs, tires, CVT fluid, brakes, wheel nuts, the air filter, wipers, and the drive belt are filed from that book. A later year's drain range or tire row is not this year.

2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 each use that year's Pathfinder owner's manual. A drain-plug figure, an oil-change column, a tire row, or a belt note from one of those books stays on that year.

2021 and 2022 are not filed here. The 2022 book is a later body and was not the one read.
