2009 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 2009 Nissan Sentra’s listed engine oil capacity depends on which engine it has: the MR20DE is listed at 4.1 qt, while the QR25DE is listed at 4.5 qt. Both use 5W-30 engine oil in the supplied specifications. Match the engine designation in your vehicle’s information to the corresponding capacity rather than treating the figures as interchangeable.

These amounts are the listed capacities for the two engines, not a reason to assume every Sentra takes the same quantity. The difference shown is by engine: the QR25DE capacity is higher than the MR20DE capacity, while the listed oil grade remains the same. The supplied facts do not give separate figures by trim or explain whether the capacity includes a filter change, so confirm the applicable amount in the owner’s manual if that detail matters.

Use the oil grade and capacity specified for your engine, and check the level after servicing according to the owner’s manual. If you cannot identify the engine or need a figure that is not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
