Additional Notes

  • The Nissan 300 ZX (EU) rear differential fluid specifications cover three distinct configurations across the Z31 and Z32 generations, each carrying a different fluid capacity.
  • The naturally aspirated Z31 from 1984-1989 holds 1.3 liters of rear differential fluid, the smallest capacity among the three configurations listed.
  • The Turbo Z31 from 1984-1990 holds 1.8 liters of rear differential fluid under normal use conditions, a moderate increase over the non-turbo Z31 variant.
  • The Twin Turbo Z32 from 1990-1991 carries the largest rear differential fluid capacity at 2.1 liters, reflecting the greater mechanical demands associated with the Z32 platform's drivetrain design.
  • Both Z31 configurations share a check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, indicating a relatively frequent service schedule for rear differential fluid monitoring.
  • The Z32 Twin Turbo carries a notably longer check interval of 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, a figure four times greater in distance and time than the Z31 interval.
  • The difference in check intervals between the Z31 and Z32 configurations means that over a 40,000 km period, the Z31 rear differential fluid would be checked approximately four times compared to once for the Z32.
