2019 Nissan Sentra
2019 Sentra MRA8DE oil is 0W-20 SN, 4.0 L with the filter. The MR16DDT capacity is printed; its viscosity line is not repeated in that row.
Difficulty, time, and cost are estimates when this guide gives them. Torque is a cited figure, or it is left off.

Numbers on this page come from the cited source. Match the engine before you use a capacity or a torque. Do not work under a vehicle held only by a jack.
Torque wrench
The procedure prints a single drain-plug torque and a single filter torque.

Each figure stays with the source named in the last column. If a sequence is a figure in that source and the order is not printed in the text, this page does not invent the order.
| Fastener | Torque | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Drain plug, with a new washer | 25 ft-lb (34 N·m) | Engine oil procedure, MRA8DE section |
| Oil filter | 18 N·m (13 ft-lb) | Engine oil procedure |
The MRA8DE is 4.0 L with the filter and 3.7 L without it, on 0W-20 SN. The MR16DDT is 4.4 L with the filter and 4.1 L without it. No viscosity is printed on that second row.
Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer at 25 ft-lb (34 N·m). Tighten the oil filter to 18 N·m (13 ft-lb).
The capacities chapter says the figures are approximate and that the do-it-yourself procedure determines the refill.
The drain-plug torque in the MRA8DE oil procedure is a single figure, 25 ft-lb, not a range. The filter torque is printed as 18 N·m (13 ft-lb).
