Nissan 200 SX (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan 200 SX (EU) differential fluid capacity is 1,8 liters. Service intervals include checks at 12 months or 30000 km, checks at 40000 km or 24 months, and changes at 40000 km or 48 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The rear differential fluid capacity across all listed configurations of the Nissan 200 SX (EU) is 1.8 liters, a figure that represents a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • The 1997-1999 200 SX rear limited slip differential carries the same 1.8-liter capacity as the earlier S13 rear differential, despite the limited slip unit being a mechanically distinct assembly requiring a dedicated fluid type.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1997-1999 rear limited slip differential is subject to a check interval of every 12 months or 30,000 km, whichever comes first, making it the most frequent inspection schedule among the listed configurations.
  • The S13 (1989-1993) rear differential under normal use conditions calls for a check at 40,000 km or 24 months, a schedule that monitors fluid condition without mandating a full fluid change at that interval.
  • Under severe use conditions, the S13 (1989-1993) rear differential shares the same 40,000 km distance marker as the normal-use check interval, but the severe-use specification mandates an actual fluid change rather than an inspection, and extends the time component to 48 months.
  • The distinction between a check and a change in the S13 specifications means the 40,000 km figure carries different service implications depending on operating conditions, with normal use requiring only a fluid level and condition assessment at that mileage.
