Additional Notes

  • The Datsun (Nissan) Violet, 710/A10 manual transmission holds 2 liters of fluid across all 710-series variants from 1973-1977, covering the 140J, 160J, and 160J SSS configurations without distinction in capacity between those trims.
  • A 2-liter fill is associated with a service fill specification, meaning the figure represents the amount of fluid required during a standard drain-and-refill service rather than a full overhaul or dry-build quantity.
  • All three 710-series variants share an identical normal-use change interval of 50,000 km, placing fluid replacement on a relatively extended schedule for the era.
  • An initial service interval of 1,000 km is specified for the 140J, 160J, and 160J SSS 710 variants, applying to the first fluid change after the vehicle enters service. At 1,000 km, the 2-liter capacity applies to that early drain as well.
  • The A10-series Violet 160J and 160J SSS, covering 1977-1981, carry a reduced manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.7 liters, down from the 2-liter figure of the preceding 710 platform.
  • A10-series specifications introduce a dual-condition change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, adding a time-based limit absent from the 710-series entries.
  • A10-series specifications also include a fluid level check interval of 10,000 km under normal use conditions, a maintenance step not listed in the 710-series rows.
