Additional Notes

  • The Nissan 240SX S13 manual transmission carries a service fill capacity of 2.4 liters across all listed configurations spanning 1988-1994.
  • A service fill capacity figure represents the amount of fluid needed during a routine drain and refill, which is typically less than the total system volume measured during a full overhaul or rebuild.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified interval for the 1988-1990 model years is a fluid check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions for the 1988-1990 model years, the specification calls for a full fluid change at 30,000 miles or 24 months.
  • The 1990-1994 configuration carries identical interval specifications to the 1988-1990 entries, with a normal-use check interval of 15,000 miles or 12 months and a severe-use change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months.
  • The distinction between a fluid check under normal use and a fluid change under severe use reflects a meaningful difference in service scope, with the severe condition requiring complete fluid replacement rather than inspection alone.
  • The 2.4-liter service fill capacity remains consistent across both the 1988-1990 and 1990-1994 configurations, indicating no change in transmission fluid volume requirements across the listed model year span.
