# 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue Oil Type and Capacity

The 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue takes 0W-20 engine oil, 5.4 quarts with a filter change by engine. OEM filter Nissan 15208-65F0E (spin-on). Verified against factory documentation, with change intervals and aftermarket filter equivalents.

**Quick answer**: The 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue (2.5L 4-cylinder (PR25DD, direct injection)) takes 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil, 5.4 quarts with a filter change (OEM filter Nissan 15208-65F0E (spin-on)). Other engines differ; see the tables below.

## 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue 2.5L 4-cylinder (PR25DD, direct injection) oil (Verified)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| Oil standard | API SN Plus/SP / ILSAC GF-6A |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5.4 qt / 5.1 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Nissan 15208-65F0E (spin-on) |
| Aftermarket filters | Fram PH7317 (TG/XG7317), Wix 57356, Mobil 1 M1-110A |
| Change interval | 5,000 mi / 6 months (Nissan schedule) |
| Drain plug torque | 25 ft-lbs |

Note: Note the capacity increase over the old QR25DE, the direct-injected PR25DD takes 5.4 qt with filter, not 4.9. Same spin-on filter as earlier Rogues.

## 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo 3-cylinder (KR15DDT, variable compression) oil (Check your manual)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| Oil standard | API SP / ILSAC GF-6A, full synthetic required |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5 qt / 4.7 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Nissan 15208-65F1E (spin-on; supersedes 15208-65F1A/65F1B) |
| Change interval | 5,000 mi / 6 months. Do not stretch intervals on this engine |
| Drain plug torque | 25 ft-lbs |

Note: Oil is this engine's Achilles' heel: the VC-Turbo's variable-compression linkage bearings are the subject of NHTSA recalls 25V-437 and 26V-080, and heat-degraded oil is named in the recall documents as a failure path. Use genuine 0W-20 full synthetic API SP, change it every 5,000 mi, and check the level monthly. Published capacity figures conflict (4.4-5.1 qt across guides; AMSOIL lists 5.0 qt with filter), fill ~4.5 qt, then set the final level on the dipstick. Different oil filter than the 2.5L.

## Which Nissan Rogue model years does this cover?

These oil specifications apply to every Nissan Rogue built from 2021 through 2025, the T33 (3rd generation), compact crossover suv (cmf-cd platform). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years.

## 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue oil: common questions

### How many quarts of oil does a 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue take?

It depends on the engine. The 2.5L 4-cylinder (PR25DD, direct injection) takes 5.4 quarts; The 1.5L VC-Turbo 3-cylinder (KR15DDT, variable compression) takes 5 quarts, all figures include a new filter.

### What kind of oil does a 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue take?

0W-20 meeting API SN Plus/SP / ILSAC GF-6A, full synthetic (required, not merely recommended). Other engines in this vehicle may differ; see the table above.

### Can you use a different viscosity in a 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue?

The factory specification is 0W-20 and no alternate grade is listed for this engine. Modern variable-valve-timing hardware is sized around the specified viscosity, so substituting a thicker oil is not a free choice.

### How often does a 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue need an oil change?

5,000 mi / 6 months (Nissan schedule). Short trips, towing, extended idling, and dusty or very cold conditions all put the vehicle on the severe-service side of that interval.

### What oil filter does a 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue take?

The OEM filter is Nissan 15208-65F0E (spin-on). Common equivalents: Fram PH7317 (TG/XG7317), Wix 57356, Mobil 1 M1-110A. Torque the drain plug to 25 lb-ft. An overtightened plug strips an aluminium pan.
