Nissan Rogue Forum

I was hoping to see an answer to Ericmacau’s query re accessing the oil filter. However, I just changed the oil and filter and answered my own question. For other reader’s info, there is a dust shield behind the right front wheel, retained by plastic clips. Take out 5 of the clips by popping up the heads with a small screwdriver and removing the clips. This allows the dust shield to be pushed out of the way of the filter, giving easy access. No, there’s no need to remove the road wheel.

Is that the fender liner?

In fact, you don't need to remove these clips, except if that annoys you.
Push it and it will bend enough for you to access the filter.
Good thing with this car, you don't need to lift it or put it on ramp to access the filter: Just turn the wheels to the right and in front of the axle you will see a bump in the plastic liner, it is behind. You can crawl under the car for the oil, but if you use a fluid extractor, no mess and no need of ramps anymore.

BTW, you can use a oversized oil filter if you want (1356 instead of the 1365 (or vice versa, not interested to check right now). For the Amsoil guys, it is the Eao13 instead of the Eao12), it fits.

I think changing the oil every 3k miles is excessive for most people. I split the difference and change it every 5k miles (8000km). It's easy to remember when it's time for a change -- just check the odometer for a multiple of 5000. If using one of those super synthetic oils, you could do 10000.

I agree. 3000 miles is too quick. 5k to 10k is much more realistic, and I like your point about intervals of 5000 being nice and easy to remember. Especially if you change it yourself so there's no little sticker on the windshield to remind you.

My recommended essential oil alter is every individual 6000km or three mos. 6000km truly would consider me to about 5 weeks however.
