Nissan Almera (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Almera (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 7 to 7,7 liters. Service intervals include checks at 12 months/30000 km or 15000 km/12 months, and changes at 60000 km/24 months or 30000 km/24 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Almera (EU) 1.6i from 1995-2000 carries a 7-liter automatic transaxle fluid capacity, while the 1.8i variants from 2000 onward hold 7.7 liters, reflecting the larger displacement engine's associated drivetrain demands.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.6i (1995-2000) automatic transaxle calls for a fluid check at 12-month or 30,000 km intervals, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1.6i (1995-2000) automatic transaxle specifies a fluid change at 60,000 km or 24 months, which is a notably longer change interval compared to the 1.8i severe-use schedule.
  • Both the 1.8i (2000-2002) and 1.8i (2002-2006) share an identical 7.7-liter capacity and the same severe-use change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months, indicating consistent transaxle specifications across those two production periods.
  • The severe-use change interval for the 1.8i at 30,000 km or 24 months is half the distance specified for the 1.6i under severe use, pointing to a more frequent fluid replacement schedule for the larger-engined variant in demanding conditions.
  • For the 1.8i in both the 2000-2002 and 2002-2006 periods, the condition labeled as under 30,000 km per year triggers a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months rather than a full change, distinguishing lower-mileage usage from the severe-use change requirement.
  • A check interval, as seen on the 1.6i normal-use and 1.8i low-mileage rows, involves inspecting fluid level and condition without necessarily draining and refilling, whereas a change interval, as listed under severe-use rows, involves a full fluid replacement.
