Datsun (Nissan) Sunny, B110/B210/B310

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Datsun (Nissan) Sunny B110/B210/B310 uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 5,1 to 5,5 liters. Service intervals include checking at 5000 km or 10000 km/6 months and changing at 50000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Datsun (Nissan) Sunny B210 120Y, covering 1974-1977, carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 5.5 liters, which is notably higher than the 5.1 liters specified for the later B310 variants.
  • The 0.4-liter difference between the B210 and B310 automatic transmission capacities reflects a design change between generations, with the B310 platform requiring a slightly smaller fluid volume across both the 120Y and 140Y variants.
  • The B210 120Y (1974-1977) specifies a fluid change interval of 50,000 km under normal use conditions, alongside a check interval of every 5,000 km.
  • The check interval for the B210 120Y is set at 5,000 km, which is half the 10,000 km check interval specified for both B310 variants, indicating a more frequent monitoring schedule for the earlier model.
  • Both B310 variants, the 120Y and 140Y covering 1977-1982, share an identical check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use, whichever comes first, with the time-based threshold adding a calendar-driven dimension absent from the B210 specification.
  • The 120Y and 140Y on the B310 platform (1977-1982) carry the same 5.1-liter capacity and identical check intervals, indicating no differentiation in automatic transmission fluid servicing between those two engine variants.
