1999 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 1999 Nissan Sentra takes 3.2 qt of 5W-30 oil with the GA16DE engine or 3.6 qt of 5W-30 with the SR20DE engine. Choose the figure for the engine in your vehicle; the capacity differs by engine, while the listed oil grade is the same for both.

Read each capacity as the listed amount for that engine, not as a figure that applies to every 1999 Sentra. The Facts provide engine-specific capacities and oil grade, but do not specify whether those amounts include a filter change or give other service details. If you need a figure or instruction that is not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

These figures apply to the engines identified for this year. They do not establish capacities for other Sentra years or trims, so do not assume another model year's number is the same. Check the engine identification and consult the owner's manual when confirming the correct oil service information for your vehicle.
