Additional Notes

  • The Nissan 200SX B14 manual transaxle fluid capacities are expressed as service fill ranges rather than fixed values, reflecting the normal variation encountered when draining and refilling without a full overhaul disassembly.
  • The 1.6-liter variant carries a service fill capacity of 2.9-3.2 liters across both the 1994-1995 and 1995-1998 model year groupings, with no change in the specified range between the two periods.
  • The 2.0-liter variant holds a noticeably larger service fill capacity of 3.7-3.9 liters, a difference of roughly 0.8 liters over the 1.6-liter transaxle, which reflects the physically larger gearbox unit paired with the SR20DE engine.
  • The 2.0-liter service fill range of 3.7-3.9 liters also applies consistently across both the 1994-1995 and 1995-1998 groupings, indicating no revision to the capacity specification during the production span covered.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified service action for both engine variants is a fluid level check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change.
  • Under severe use conditions, the specification calls for a fluid change at 30,000 miles or 24 months, doubling the time and distance interval compared to the normal-use check schedule.
  • The distinction between a fluid check under normal conditions and a fluid change under severe conditions means the actual fluid replacement frequency depends entirely on the operating environment rather than a single universal interval.
  • Both the 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter configurations share identical service intervals of 15,000 miles or 12 months for normal use and 30,000 miles or 24 months for severe use, with engine displacement having no effect on the maintenance schedule.
