FWIW - I don't have a lot of experience with Nissan, but the ones I have seen spec less oil for a given size engine than other makers. 3.5 qt for a 2.0L in this case when others are 4.5, even 5.25 (Hyundai, Kia). I used to service a friends Sentra that was only 2.9 qt. More oil not only lubricates, it also helps with cooling and adds a safety margin if level is low.
Just an opinion.
