Additional Notes

  • The Lexus NX 200t automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 6.5 liters, which reflects the total fluid volume required when the transmission is completely empty, such as after a full rebuild or replacement. The service fill capacity of 3.2 liters represents only the amount displaced during a routine drain-and-fill procedure, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and valve body.
  • The NX 300 automatic transaxle has a dry fill capacity of 6.8 liters across both AWD and FWD configurations for 2017-2021, which is 0.3 liters greater than the 6.5-liter dry fill specified for the NX 200t in 2014-2017. No separate service fill figure is listed for the NX 300.
  • For the NX 200t in 2014-2017, the severe use condition adds a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles or 72 months on top of the 30,000-mile or 36-month check interval that also applies under normal use. Under normal use, no fluid change interval is specified, meaning only the inspection is called for.
  • The same severe-use structure applies to the NX 300 AWD and FWD USA configurations for 2017-2021, where a 60,000-mile or 72-month change interval accompanies the standard 30,000-mile or 36-month check. The check interval itself is identical between normal and severe use for these variants.
  • Canadian-market NX 300 specifications for 2017-2021 use a check interval of 16,000 km or 12 months, which is a notably shorter time-based interval than the 36-month interval specified for USA-market NX 300 variants. No severe use condition or fluid change interval appears in the Canadian NX 300 rows.
  • The NX 200t AWD and FWD variants share identical capacity and interval figures across both normal and severe use conditions for 2014-2017, indicating that drivetrain configuration does not affect the automatic transaxle fluid specifications for that model variant.
  • The same pattern holds for the NX 300, where AWD and FWD configurations within the same market carry identical dry fill capacities and check intervals, both in the USA and Canadian specifications for 2017-2021.
