Additional Notes

  • The Honda NSX NC1 (EU) front differential carries an overhaul capacity of 3.4 liters, which represents the total volume required when the unit is fully drained and disassembled during a complete rebuild or replacement procedure.
  • The front differential service fill capacity of 2.42 liters is the volume used during a routine fluid change, accounting for residual fluid that remains in the unit after a standard drain without full disassembly.
  • The difference between the 3.4-liter overhaul figure and the 2.42-liter service fill figure amounts to nearly one liter, reflecting the volume of fluid retained in passages and cavities that only become accessible during a full overhaul.
  • The front differential fluid change interval for the 2016-2021 NSX NC1 (EU) is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 12-month time-based interval running alongside the 20,000 km mileage threshold means that calendar time alone can trigger a fluid change even when the distance threshold has not been reached under normal use.
