Nissan Altima Vehicle Context (Multi-Generation Coverage)
- Nissan Altima midsize sedan nameplate: The Nissan Altima is Nissan’s midsize sedan positioning – one of Nissan’s most historically significant volume midsize sedan nameplates. Continuous production across multiple generations from the 1993 model year introduction. Represents Nissan’s approach to the volume midsize sedan segment competing with Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and various other midsize sedan competitors
- Altima nameplate history: The Altima nameplate was introduced for the 1993 model year replacing the earlier Stanza nameplate. Continuous production across multiple generations – first generation (1993-1997), second generation (1998-2001), third generation (2002-2006), fourth generation (2007-2012), fifth generation L33 (2013-2018), sixth generation (2019+), and various other production era variants
- Multi-generation coverage: Per the source data compatibility, confirm exact year, generation, and engine by VIN. This listing covers various Altima generation applications – critical verification by VIN required for correct application match. Different generations have distinct specific AC compressor configurations
- ‘1993’ entry note: Per the source data compatibility note, the ‘1993’ entry looks off. The Altima nameplate was introduced for the 1993 model year but specific vintage / generation identification requires VIN verification. Do not assume specific year based on the ‘1993’ entry alone – verify by VIN
- I4 vs V6 engine evolution: Per the source data engine note, early Altimas use I4 engines, later ones add a V6; compressors differ. Early Altima generations used exclusively I4 (four-cylinder) engine configurations. Later Altima generations (from third generation forward) added V6 engine options in addition to I4 configurations. Different engine variants use different specific AC compressor configurations
- 2013 L33 pre-facelift specific alternative: Our related 2013 Nissan Altima AC Compressor listing provides L33 pre-facelift-specific coverage with OEM 92600-3TA0A part number identification for 2013 Altima applications specifically (2.5L QR25DE or 3.5L VQ35DE). For 2013 L33 pre-facelift Altima applications, the 2013-specific listing provides more precise identification
AC Compressor Function and Engine Variant Context
- AC compressor function: The AC compressor is the primary component of the automotive air conditioning system – compresses refrigerant vapor from low pressure to high pressure, providing the pressure differential driving the AC system’s refrigerant cycle for cabin cooling. Standard automotive HVAC / AC system component
- I4 engine AC compressor context: Per the source data engine, I4 or V6, by VIN. I4 (four-cylinder) engine applications use specific AC compressor configurations appropriate for the I4 engine bay layout and drive integration requirements. Various I4 engine variants across Altima production include QR25DE 2.5L, SR20DE 2.0L, KA24DE 2.4L, and various other I4 engine configurations across various generations
- V6 engine AC compressor context: V6 engine applications (from third-generation Altima forward) use specific AC compressor configurations appropriate for the V6 engine bay layout and drive integration requirements. Various V6 engine variants across Altima production include VQ35DE 3.5L, VQ30DE 3.0L, and various other V6 engine configurations
- CRITICAL engine variant compressor distinction: Per the source data engine note, compressors differ. Different engine variants (I4 vs V6, various specific engine displacements) use different specific AC compressor configurations. Do NOT cross-fit AC compressors across different engine variants
- R-134a refrigerant with PAG oil: Per the source data refrigerant, R-134a (PAG oil). Standard automotive refrigerant configuration typical of most Altima production eras. R-134a was the standard automotive AC refrigerant during most Altima production before the more recent transition to R-1234yf refrigerant for newest applications. PAG oil (polyalkylene glycol oil) is the standard refrigerant oil for R-134a systems
- Not included items: Per the source data, receiver-drier, O-rings, refrigerant, and PAG oil, unless confirmed at order. Standard scope – the AC compressor with clutch is provided. Additional items (receiver-drier / accumulator, replacement O-rings, refrigerant, PAG oil) are separate items – obtain / confirm separately as required
- AC service equipment required: Per the source data tools note, AC service equipment to evacuate and recharge; a professional installer. Critical installation requirement – AC compressor installation requires professional installer with AC service equipment
