2017 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity
The 2017 Nissan Sentra’s listed engine oil capacities are 4.6 qt for the MR16DDT and 4.2 qt for the MRA8DE, with 0W-20 specified for both. The correct figure depends on which engine is fitted, so use the engine designation rather than assuming one capacity applies to every Sentra.
These figures are oil-capacity references, not a substitute for checking the level after service. Add oil carefully and check the dipstick as directed in the owner’s manual; do not pour in the full listed amount without checking the level. The oil type shown here is 0W-20 for each listed engine.
This information applies to the 2017 model and the two engine designations listed in the facts. If your engine is not identified as MR16DDT or MRA8DE, or you need a figure not shown here, confirm the correct capacity and oil specification on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
