How many spark plugs does a Nissan Altima have?

I want to do a tuneup on my Nissan Altima, and I’m making a checklist of all the things I need for my vehicle. I have the belts and things like that, but I’m not exactly sure how many spark plugs to buy. How many do I need for my Altima?

The number of spark plugs for a
Nissan Altima
depends on what type of engine lies under the hood. Over the years, the Nissan Altima has been available with either a four-cylinder engine or a V6 engine. You would need six spark plugs for the V6 engine or four spark plugs for the four-cylinder option.
The easiest way to tell how many cylinders you have is to look under the hood and count them. Alternatively, you can use the VIN (vehicle identification number) to look it up online or by contacting your local Nissan dealership.
The average
spark plug replacement cost
for a Nissan Altima is around $2.50 to $10 per spark plug for a total cost of $10 to $60 depending on the engine.
