A good many won't. To me it's a BITOG MONEY FLUSH.

You don't need to change it yet, you only want to.

Most (not all) newer Nissans have a sticker under the hood that gives the recommended viscosity at the very bottom of the sticker. What does the manual say? It might give other options being you live in a 'warm' climate.
As far as brand.... whatever flavor you like.

If you feel the need change it early but it won't matter that is a real solid V8 it will still last several hundred thousand miles with basic care and even low cost oil that meets spec.
In MS you could run anything that makes you happy. I'd probably go with 10w-30 if you're going to work it hard.
If going with 0w-20, any of M1 0w-20 are great oils. I'm running the 0w-20 AFE right now

Yes,, I want to change the oil in he truck. Won't hurt a thing,,,,, Somewhere along the line I supposed it takes the 5-30-- maybe not...
great truck !!! love it
Does it require a 0-20 or a 5-30???

It requires 0W-20. Doesn't it say that on the oil cap?

What does it say on the cap, sir? That's the answer as to oil grade.
As to type? Well, what's on sale or within your budget and maybe favorite company or color? That's as to type.

My 2014 version of this motor calls for 5-30. I posted a used oil analysis a week or so ago where I had sampled castrol gtx at 4800 miles and rp hps at 8800 miles, you could look at that UOA report of mine to get an idea of how long you can go on oil change intervals. These motors seem to be hard on oil but do seem to be very solid V8s...don't expect decent gas mileage though (assuming you thought a V8 truck would get good mileage)
My usual on a new vehicle is to change the oil at 2500 miles with conventional then at 5000 and every 5000 after with synthetic. Always good UOA's with Pennzoil Platinum in any weight in any of my family's vehicles.
6.9 quarts of 0W20. I vote Castrol Magnatec 0W20.
