2001 Infiniti QX4 - First Oil Change

[Fosty]

So I'm going to be doing an oil change soon and I'm wondering what the oil capacity is on these things and if you guys have any oil or filters to recommend.
Also if the weather matters, I live in Austin, TX.

I have a 2002 and it's about 4 1/4 qts. with a filter change.

For a 3.5 L, it's 5.25 qt. All this information is in the pinned "General Info and FAQ" thread. What may not be there, is to use an over-size filter that's designed for a Honda Element. Wix and Bosch are good brands to use, and Valvoline MaxLife 5w30 high-mileage oil is what I use (from Walmart), changing every 5K miles. Most accurate oil level check is exactly 10 min after turning the engine off.
