2015 Nissan Altima Oil Capacity

The 2015 Nissan Altima oil capacity depends on the engine: the QR25DE takes 4.9 qt, while the VQ35DE takes 5.1 qt. The listed oil grade also changes by engine, with 0W-20 specified for the QR25DE and 5W-30 for the VQ35DE. Use the entry that matches your Altima’s engine rather than treating either capacity as a single figure for every 2015 model.

These figures describe the listed capacity and oil grade for each engine; they are not interchangeable recommendations. Check which engine your vehicle has before selecting oil or estimating how much to add. If your engine or applicable capacity is not shown here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
