Hello,

For your Sentra you will need 75W-85 gear oil for the manual transmission fluid.
The total capacity is just over 3 quarts.
After draining the fluid, you want to add fluid till it drips out of the fill plug on the side. When it starts to drip out, then it is full.

I have attached the procedure below.

let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
