1999 Nissan Altima Oil Capacity

The 1999 Nissan Altima with the KA24DE engine has an oil capacity of 3.6 qt and uses 5W-30 oil. These figures apply to the engine listed for this model year; oil capacity and recommended viscosity can differ on Altimas with another engine or from another year.

Read the capacity as the amount of oil specified for the KA24DE, and use 5W-30 as the listed viscosity grade. The amount needed during an oil change may depend on whether the filter is replaced and how fully the old oil drains, so check the level after filling rather than relying only on the stated capacity. If your engine or trim does not match the listed fact, confirm the correct capacity and viscosity on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

Use the owner's manual to verify the applicable service guidance for your vehicle. If a figure you need is not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
