The 2002 Nissan Altima comes in two different engine sizes, the 2.5/4-cylinder and the 3.5/6-cylinder. If you have a 4-speed automatic transmission then both of these engines have the same requirements when it comes to transmission fluid.
What type of transmission fluid does it need?
This vehicle takes automatic transmission fluids such as Nissan Matic, DexronTM III/MerconTM, or equivalent. We offer a synthetic equivalent that exceeds all other oils if you want a top-quality product. More on this later below.
