2013 Nissan Pathfinder Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

How do I know how much oil to put in a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder after an oil change?

The amount depends on whether you replaced the oil filter. Determine your situation, then use the matching capacity figure from the owner’s manual chart, and always confirm the final level using the refill procedure in the maintenance section.

1. If you changed the oil filter, add 5-1/8 qt (4-1/4 Imp qt, 4.8 liters) of engine oil
2. If you did not change the filter, add 4-3/4 qt (4 Imp qt, 4.5 liters) instead
3. Use engine oil carrying the API Certification Mark with SAE 5W-30 viscosity
4. Follow the refill procedure described in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself section to verify the correct level
5. Check the dipstick afterward since actual capacities can vary slightly from these approximate figures

What’s the difference between Type A and Type B fuses in a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder?

Type A fuses in a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder are used in the engine compartment fuse boxes, while Type B fuses are only used in the passenger compartment fuse box. Type A can replace a Type B fuse in the passenger compartment, though it may sit slightly higher without affecting function; however, Type B fuses cannot be installed in the underhood boxes, so only Type A spares work there. Owner’s Manual, p. 446

Can I rely on the parking sensor above 6 mph in a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder?

No. On a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder the sonar parking sensor only works in Reverse and shuts off once vehicle speed climbs above about 6 mph (10 km/h). It automatically turns back on again as soon as your speed drops below that threshold. Owner’s Manual, p. 238

What is the maximum distance the Intelligent Key can be from the request switch on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder?

On a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, the Intelligent Key must stay within 31.50 in (80 cm) of each request switch for the system to work. A weak battery or nearby strong radio waves can shrink this range further, causing the switches to stop responding reliably. Owner’s Manual, p. 160

What is the tire rotation interval for a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder?

Nissan recommends rotating the tires on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) to promote even wear and extend tire life, in line with the general maintenance schedule outlined in the owner’s manual. Owner’s Manual, p. 428

What should I check before fueling up a Pathfinder?

Confirm the pump dispenses unleaded regular gasoline rated at least 87 AKI, since leaded fuel damages the catalyst. Also check that E-15 or E-85 aren’t being used unless your vehicle has an E-85 filler door label, as those fuels can harm the emission system and void warranty coverage. Owner’s Manual, p. 468

How often do the front and rear disc brakes adjust themselves on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder?

The front and rear disc-type brakes on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder self-adjust every time you press the brake pedal, so no manual brake adjustment intervals are needed. Owner’s Manual, p. 445

Does the Pathfinder show when the parking sensor detects something nearby?

Yes, on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder a green indicator appears and blinks while an intermittent tone sounds once an object is detected. As you get closer the indicator color changes to yellow and the tone’s rate increases to warn you. Owner’s Manual, p. 238

Where is the low battery warning for the Intelligent Key shown on a Pathfinder?

On a Pathfinder, a low battery warning for the Intelligent Key appears as an indicator light inside the Vehicle Information Display, which is part of the instrument cluster readouts described in the Instruments and controls section. Owner’s Manual, p. 159

Jack handle keeps hitting the ground when raising my 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, what’s wrong?

This is a known situation, not a defect. If the lug nut wrench/jack handle contacts the ground while you’re raising a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, disassemble the wrench from the jack extension rod, rotate it 90 degrees, then reassemble it so it clears the ground and you can keep raising the vehicle normally.
