2013 Nissan Altima Oil Capacity

The 2013 Nissan Altima oil capacity depends on which engine is fitted: the QR25DE takes 4.9 qt, while the VQ35DE takes 5.1 qt. Use the engine-specific figure rather than treating one capacity as correct for every Altima.

The listed oil grade also varies by engine. The QR25DE uses 0W-20, and the VQ35DE uses 5W-30. Check the engine identification before choosing oil or interpreting the capacity; these figures describe the two engines listed for this model year, not a single specification shared across both.

These capacities are reference amounts, so confirm the correct procedure and final level in the owner's manual. If your vehicle's engine or required oil grade is not shown here, confirm the specification on the door jamb or in the owner's manual rather than assuming one of these figures applies.
