For the 3.0 litre turbo Patrol it is 10000k's unless you are drivng under severe conditions, which are listed in the manual, then it is 5000k's. Also Nissan advise against fully synthetic oils in the diesels but semi-synth is OK. Since the Pathfinder is the same mechanicals roughly I don't see why the intervals for it should be any different.

Shnog,

I don't know for sure so take this advise and do with it what you will.
If I owned one of these high tech turbo diesels and wanted to keep it for any length of time, I would defineately change the oil and filter/s every 5000km regardles of workshop manual. Maybe I am over conscious regarding this subject but that is my view.

Regards Trevor.
