How much oil does a 22 Sentra take?

The 2022 Sentra with the 1.8-liter engine typically requires about 4.8 quarts of engine oil when you replace the filter, or roughly 4.0 quarts if you’re only changing the oil and not the filter. The recommended oil is a fully synthetic 0W-20. Always verify the exact capacity in your owner's manual or with a Nissan dealer, as figures can vary by market or engine variant.


Oil capacity for the 2022 Sentra


These figures reflect the typical capacity for the 1.8L engine used in most 2022 Sentra models. Actual capacity can vary by market, trim, or engine variant.



  • 4.8 quarts (4.5 liters) with a new oil filter

  • 4.0 quarts (approximately 3.8 liters) without a filter


In practice, plan for about 4.8 quarts during a full oil change with a new filter; if you do a drain-and-fill without replacing the filter, you’ll be around 4.0 quarts. Always check the dipstick after adding oil and adjust to the proper level.


Oil grade and maintenance tips


The 2022 Sentra’s engine is designed for a full synthetic 0W-20 oil. This grade offers good protection and fuel efficiency in a wide range of climates. If you live in very hot or very cold conditions, consult the owner’s manual for any climate-specific recommendations.


Key maintenance reminders


Follow the recommended service intervals for oil changes as outlined in your owner’s manual. Routine replacement of the oil filter during a full change is recommended to ensure optimal engine protection and performance.


Summary


In short, expect about 4.8 quarts of engine oil with a filter for a standard 2022 Nissan Sentra oil change, and about 4.0 quarts if not changing the filter. Use 0W-20 full synthetic oil and verify exact capacity in your manual, as regional specifications can vary.
