2000 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 2000 Nissan Sentra’s listed engine oil capacity depends on the engine: the QG18DE takes 2.9 qt, while the SR20DE takes 3.6 qt. Both engine entries specify 5W-30 oil. Use the figure that matches your engine rather than treating one capacity as correct for every Sentra.

Read each capacity as the listed amount for that engine, with the oil grade shown alongside it. The figures differ by engine: the SR20DE listing is higher than the QG18DE listing. These facts apply to the 2000 model year; they do not establish capacities for other years or trims. If your engine is not identified here, confirm its capacity and oil grade on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.

The listed capacity is a reference for the specified engine, not a substitute for checking your vehicle’s information. If a figure for your engine or trim is not shown, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual before adding oil.
