Datsun (Nissan) Cherry, E10/F10

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Datsun (Nissan) Cherry, E10/F10 clutch fluid capacity is between min and max. Service intervals include checking at 5000 km and changing at 40000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • All four configurations across the Datsun (Nissan) Cherry E10/F10 lineup share a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch fluid level is maintained within a reservoir bounded by minimum and maximum markers rather than filled to a fixed volume.
  • The 100A E10 (1970-1976) is the only configuration carrying explicit service interval data, with a fluid level check specified at every 5,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The same 100A E10 specification also calls for a full fluid change at 40,000 km under normal use, establishing a defined replacement cycle absent from the other three configurations in the lineup.
  • The F10-generation variants, covering the 100A F-II and 120A F-II for 1976-1979, carry only the reservoir fill range specification with no check or change intervals recorded, distinguishing them from the earlier E10 100A entry.
  • The 120A E10 (1972-1976) shares the same fill-range-only specification as the F10 variants, meaning no periodic check or change interval is associated with normal use for the 120A engine in the E10 body.
  • The transition from E10 to F10 body styles in 1976 coincides with a shift in how clutch fluid specifications are recorded, with the F10 entries for both the 100A F-II and 120A F-II carrying no interval data beyond the reservoir level range.
