2018 Nissan Sentra Oil Capacity

The 2018 Nissan Sentra’s listed engine oil capacity is 4.6 qt with the MR16DDT engine and 4.2 qt with the MRA8DE engine. Both use 0W-20 oil, so the capacity figure changes by engine rather than by the oil grade listed here. Check which engine is in your Sentra before using a capacity figure; the vehicle model and year alone do not identify the correct amount.

Treat these capacities as reference amounts, not a substitute for checking the oil level during service. The amount needed can depend on the engine and service procedure, so add oil gradually and verify the level using the method in the owner’s manual. If your engine or oil specification is not shown in these facts, confirm the correct information on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
