SOURCE: 2005 Nissan Xterra gas gauge reads empty when full of gas.
Sending unit died. can be expencive to replace since most sending units are integral with the fuel pump now. lots of labor too. Better to use the trip odometer till you can afford a day without your car and a $600.00 +labor repair bill.
SOURCE: how many quarts of oil do I use on a nissan xterra
Newer cars use 10w-30. Buy 6 quartz of oil. After you change the oil. Put in about 4 quarts. Start the engine let run for a few seconds, turn it off, then measure the level with dipstick. Top it to the proper level.
