2003 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 2003 Nissan Sentra’s oil capacity depends on which engine is installed: the QG18DE takes 2.9 qt, while the QR25DE takes 4.3 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. Check the engine identification before using a capacity figure, since the two listed engines have different amounts.

Read each capacity as the listed oil quantity for that engine, rather than as a figure that applies to every 2003 Sentra. The figures are specific to the engines shown here; they do not establish a separate capacity for another engine or trim. If your engine is not identified as QG18DE or QR25DE, confirm its oil capacity on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.

The listed oil grade is the same for both engines, but the capacity changes with engine choice. These facts cover the 2003 model year only, so do not assume they apply to a Sentra from another year. If your vehicle’s engine or oil requirement is unclear, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
