2006 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 2006 Nissan Sentra’s engine determines its listed engine-oil capacity and recommended viscosity. The QG18DE takes 2.9 qt of 5W-30, while the QR25DE takes 4.2 qt of 5W-30. Check the engine designation before using a capacity figure; the listed amount is not the same for both engines.

These figures are a reference for the specified engine and oil grade. The listed facts give the same viscosity for both engines, but a different capacity for each. They do not provide a separate capacity by trim, nor do they specify whether the amount includes an oil-filter change. If your engine or service conditions do not match the listed facts, confirm the correct capacity and oil grade on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

When adding oil, use the engine-specific figure as a guide and check the level according to the owner's manual rather than assuming either capacity applies to every Sentra. If you cannot identify the engine, or need a figure not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
