Nissan/Datsun Sentra Oil Filter

Any contaminants in your engine oil are filtered out by the oil filter, ensuring that no debris enters your engine and causes excess wear. When the oil filter isn't replaced on time, the oil quality degrades and can damage the engine internals. At AutoZone, you can find a replacement oil filter for your Nissan Sentra.

Replacing the oil filter on a Nissan Sentra is a straightforward process that should take less than half an hour to complete. The oil filter is located on the underside of the engine, so propping the car on jack stands or a ramp will make the job easier. Remove the old engine oil from inside the engine by removing the engine oil drain plug. Collect the old oil in a drain pan and set it aside. Then, unscrew the oil filter from the oil filter housing. Use an oil filter wrench or pliers if it's too tight. Coat the new oil filter's gasket with oil and screw it into the oil filter housing. Lastly, replace the oil drain plug and add the recommended oil to your car's engine.
