The 2021 Nissan Altima with the KR20DDET engine has an oil capacity of 5.0 qt and uses 5W-30 oil. These figures apply to the engine identified in the listed facts; they are not a guarantee that every Altima version has the same capacity or oil requirement.

Read the capacity as the amount associated with the listed engine, and the oil grade as the specified viscosity. Capacity and recommended oil can vary by engine or model year, so do not apply these figures to another year or engine without checking. The available facts identify the KR20DDET engine but do not provide separate figures for other trims or engines.

If your vehicle's engine or configuration is different, confirm its oil capacity and required grade on the door jamb or in the owner's manual. Use those vehicle-specific references if they differ from the listed facts.
