Published on February 11th, 2023 by Searchforparts.com
The Nissan Altima comes with either a 4-cylinder or a 6-cylinder engine. It also is available with a hybrid 2.5L engine. The correct transmission fluid and capacity depend on which engine you have. In this article, we will talk about the correct fluid to use and the capacity in quarts needed to completely top it off.
What is the correct ATF fluid for my Nissan Altima?
If your Nissan is a 2.5L Hybrid then it takes Nissan Matic W Automatic Transmission fluid. This is directly from the owner’s manual. The gas engine 2.5L or 3.5L takes CVT fluid NS-2.
