2021 Nissan Pathfinder Engine Parts

Engine:
3.5L V6

85 Engine parts are listed for the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder, in 30 part types, covering the 3.5L V6 engine. Each one has a brand, a manufacturer part number and notes that say where it fits.

On the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder, the engine covers the internals and hard parts that build compression and keep oil where it belongs — gaskets, bearings, camshafts, lifters, seals and timing components. 25 parts of the 85 listed are Motor Mount (10 parts), Oil Filter (9 parts) and Oil (6 parts). The other 27 part types cover the remaining 60 parts.

Buying Engine Parts for a 2021 Nissan Pathfinder

On this vehicle, the engine covers the internals and hard parts that build compression and keep oil where it belongs — gaskets, bearings, camshafts, lifters, seals and timing components.

  • Confirm you have the 3.5L V6 engine — every part on this page is matched to it.
  • Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.
  • Where labor overlaps, replace the seals and gaskets for anything you open up; a timing job should always include the tensioner and guides, not just the belt or chain.
  • Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against your old part or a service-manual listing.

Start with the largest groups on this page: Motor Mount and Oil Filter .

Frequently Asked Questions

How many engine parts fit the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder?

Our catalog currently lists 85 engine parts for the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder across 30 subcategories and 21 brands, covering the 3.5L V6 engine. Each part is matched to the engine(s) it fits.

What are the signs of engine problems on a 2021 Nissan Pathfinder?

Common symptoms include oil spots under the vehicle, blue or white exhaust smoke, ticking from the valvetrain, or coolant mysteriously disappearing. If you notice any of these, identify the affected subcategory above and cross-reference the part numbers listed.

What oil viscosity is listed for the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder?

Oil rows on this page include SAE 5W-30. Confirm the engine and the weight on the filler cap before you buy — high-mileage and standard fills can differ.

What should I replace at the same time?

Where labor overlaps, replace the seals and gaskets for anything you open up; a timing job should always include the tensioner and guides, not just the belt or chain.

What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?

They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 2021 Nissan Pathfinder was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.

How do I make sure a part fits my 2021 Nissan Pathfinder?

Every part on this page is matched to the 3.5L V6 engine. Then engine hard parts are unforgiving of guesswork — confirm the casting or engine code before ordering, because one model year can hide two different blocks. The notes column carries position and trim qualifiers where they apply.
