Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Nitro 3.7 V6 manual transmission holds 1.5 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul volume, as overhaul procedures typically require additional fluid to account for residual drainage from internal components.
  • The 2006-2007 Nitro 3.7 V6 (USA) under normal use carries a check interval of 30,000 miles or 30 months, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected at that point rather than replaced outright.
  • For the 2007-2010 Nitro 3.7 V6 under severe use conditions, the interval shifts from a check to a full fluid change at 30,000 miles or 30 months, reflecting the greater thermal and mechanical stress associated with severe-duty operation.
  • The 2007-2010 Nitro 3.7 V6 under normal use lists only a capacity figure with no associated interval, distinguishing it from the severe-use row for the same model years, which carries the 30,000-mile or 30-month change interval.
  • The AWD variant of the 2006-2007 Nitro 3.7 V6 shares the same 1.5-liter manual transmission capacity and 30,000-mile or 30-month check interval as the non-AWD USA version for the same years under normal use.
  • The 2007-2010 Nitro 3.7 V6 AWD under severe use specifies a fluid change at 30,000 miles or 30 months, mirroring the interval structure of the non-AWD severe-use row for the same period.
  • Canadian-market entries for both the standard and AWD 2006-2007 Nitro 3.7 V6 list only the 1.5-liter capacity under normal use, with no check or change interval specified in the provided data.
