2011 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 2011 Nissan Sentra takes 4.1 qt of 5W-30 oil with the MR20DE engine or 4.5 qt of 5W-30 with the QR25DE engine. Check the engine shown in your vehicle information before choosing a capacity; the listed amount changes with the engine, while the recommended oil viscosity is the same for both.

Treat these figures as the listed oil capacity for the corresponding engine, not as a reason to overfill during service. The amount needed can depend on whether the oil filter is replaced and how fully the old oil drains, so add oil carefully and check the dipstick as directed in the owner's manual. If your engine or required capacity is not identified here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
