Additional Notes

  • The automatic transmission service fill capacity for the Nissan 240SX (S13) is 8.3 liters across all listed model years from 1988-1994. A service fill figure represents the amount of fluid required during a routine drain-and-refill procedure, not a complete overhaul or total system capacity.
  • Under normal use conditions for the 1988-1990 240SX, the automatic transmission fluid interval is a check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. A check interval, rather than a change interval, means the fluid level and condition are inspected without a mandatory replacement at that point.
  • Under severe use conditions for the 1988-1990 240SX, the specification calls for a fluid change at 30,000 miles or 24 months. Severe use typically encompasses operating conditions such as frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, or extreme temperatures that place greater thermal stress on transmission fluid.
  • The 1990-1994 240SX carries the same 8.3-liter service fill capacity as the earlier 1988-1990 configuration, indicating no change in transmission fluid volume requirements across the overlap year of 1990 or the subsequent model years through 1994.
  • The normal-use check interval of 15,000 miles or 12 months and the severe-use change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months are identical between the 1988-1990 and 1990-1994 configurations, reflecting consistent service scheduling across the full 1988-1994 production span covered by the specifications.
