2018 Nissan Altima Oil Capacity

The 2018 Nissan Altima takes 4.9 qt of oil with the QR25DE engine or 5.1 qt with the VQ35DE engine. Both engines use 0W-20 oil, so the capacity depends on which engine is installed rather than on a different oil grade.

Read the capacity as the listed oil amount for the engine, and use the matching engine code when checking your vehicle. The QR25DE figure is lower than the VQ35DE figure; these are the two engine-specific capacities provided for this model year. The facts do not specify trim-level differences or whether the amounts include an oil-filter change, so confirm the required amount for your service in the owner's manual.

These figures apply to the 2018 Altima facts provided here. If your engine code or required capacity is unclear, check the owner's manual; confirm the oil information on the door jamb if needed.
