  • Pull the dipstick out and check the engine oil level. The level needs to be between the min and max mark. If the engine oil level is below the min mark, you need to add engine oil to your Quest.

  • Locate the oil filler cap. This is where you can add oil to your Nissan Quest. location of oil filler cap used to add engine oil Nissan Quest 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
  • Add only half a quart at a time and check the level again. If the oil level is still under the MIN mark, add more oil to bring the level just below the MAX mark.
  • Add 0.5-1 qt of oil at a time and recheck the oil level. Don’t allow the oil to go over the MAX/FULL mark.
