Additional Notes

  • The Nissan 200SX B14 (USA/CAN) 1.6-liter engine carries a cooling system capacity of 5.2 liters with a manual transmission and 5.7 liters with an automatic transmission, a difference of 0.5 liters that reflects the additional fluid volume routed through the automatic transmission oil cooler integrated into the cooling circuit.
  • The 2.0-liter engine's cooling system capacity is listed strictly as a service fill figure of 6.2 liters, which represents the amount added during a standard drain-and-refill procedure rather than the total system volume.
  • The 2.0-liter engine holds 6.2 liters compared to the 1.6-liter's 5.2 liters (manual) or 5.7 liters (automatic), a capacity gap consistent with the larger displacement engine requiring a greater volume of coolant to manage heat across a bigger combustion chamber and block.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter engines share a coolant change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • A first change only interval of 60,000 miles or 48 months applies to both engine variants, doubling the standard mileage and time thresholds. A first change only designation typically reflects factory-fill coolant formulated for extended initial service life before transitioning to the regular maintenance schedule.
  • The 1.6-liter engine specifications appear across two overlapping year ranges, 1994-1995 and 1995-1998, with identical capacity and interval values in both ranges, indicating no change in cooling system specifications between those production periods.
  • The same overlap pattern applies to the 2.0-liter engine, where the 1994-1995 and 1995-1998 entries carry identical 6.2-liter service fill capacities and the same 30,000-mile/24-month normal interval, as well as the same first change only interval of 60,000 miles or 48 months.
