In 2010, the Nissan Altima's automatic transmission requires 5 quarts of fluid for lubrication and heat dissipation within the engine's internal components. Properly maintaining the transmission fluid is crucial for ensuring smooth operation. Each shift generates additional heat, which is why regular fluid changes are essential to prevent the fluid from losing its lubricating properties and heat dispersion ability. Neglecting fluid changes can lead to increased wear on transmission parts, particularly the clutches. Failure to change the fluid could result in a buildup of damaged fluid in the valve body, causing difficulty in shifting between gears and potentially leading to slipping transmission issues.
The amount of transmission fluid that the 2010 Nissan Altima can hold is 5 quarts.
