2005 Nissan Altima Oil Capacity

The 2005 Nissan Altima takes 4.4 qt of 5W-30 engine oil for either listed engine. The capacity is the same for the QR25DE and VQ35DE in the supplied facts.

Use the listed capacity as a reference when changing the oil; the amount needed can depend on whether the filter is replaced and how fully the old oil drains. The facts do not specify those conditions, so check the dipstick as you refill and avoid overfilling.

If your vehicle’s engine or oil requirement is not represented by these facts, confirm the correct figure and viscosity on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
