★ Top Answer
The 2009 Nissan Altima requires engine oil that is API certified with a viscosity grade of SAE 5w-30. The engine oil capacity for both the qr25de and vq35de engines in the 2009 Nissan Altima is 4.8 quarts (4.6 liters). While you may be thinking about changing your own oil, it's recommended to think twice. Modern car designs and equipment make it challenging to change the oil, especially the filter, at home. It can be complex and may require specific tools that vary by manufacturer. Sometimes, accessing the oil filter may involve removing other components from the engine bay or sump guard. Unless you have experience working on cars, it's best to leave this job to the professionals.

What a ridiculous reply. Doing an oil change is straightforward, even for someone with average intelligence. You just need to remove ONE bolt. Get oil, filter, and drain pan. Put the drain pan under the bolt. I mean, do I have to spell out each step?

The initial response is absurd. It only requires 15 minutes and is incredibly easy. Check out a video on YouTube.

I agree that changing the oil in an Altima is a fairly simple task, but for those who lack experience, removing the oil filter on my coupe model involves taking off the passenger-side tire and fender liner. If you're not familiar with this process, you might struggle to remove the filter because it's not just a matter of unscrewing one bolt.
