Additional Notes

  • The manual transmission fluid capacity for the Datsun (Nissan) Gloria (Prince) A30 is 2.5 liters, a figure that applies consistently across both the normal use and initial service conditions listed in the specifications.
  • A 2.5-liter fill volume for a manual transmission of this era is a moderate capacity, consistent with compact to mid-size gearbox designs typical of late 1960s Japanese passenger vehicles.
  • Under normal use conditions, a fluid level check interval of 5,000 km is specified, which reflects a relatively frequent inspection schedule and indicates the importance of monitoring fluid integrity between full drain-and-fill services.
  • The normal use change interval is set at 50,000 km, representing the standard long-term drain cycle for the manual transmission fluid under everyday driving conditions.
  • An initial service condition is separately listed with a fluid change interval of 1,000 km, a break-in drain intended to remove metal particles and manufacturing residues that accumulate during the earliest stage of gearbox operation.
  • The 1,000 km initial service change interval is notably short compared to the 50,000 km normal change cycle, reflecting the elevated contamination rate that occurs as new transmission components wear into their operating tolerances during the first hours of use.
