Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Almera Tino (EU) power steering system holds a uniform 1-liter fluid capacity across all listed engine variants, spanning the 1.8-liter petrol through to the 2.2-liter diesel configurations. A 1-liter figure for a power steering reservoir is typical of a rack-and-pinion hydraulic assist system, where the reservoir and circuit together hold a relatively small volume compared to other vehicle fluid systems.
  • The 1-liter capacity listed here represents a service-level fill quantity rather than a full system overhaul volume. In practice, power steering fluid capacity figures in service specifications reflect the reservoir and accessible circuit volume, not the total displacement of the entire hydraulic circuit under a complete flush.
  • The 1.8 V10 and 2.0 V10 petrol variants from 2000-2003 share a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions. The 12-month time limit means the interval is reached whichever threshold comes first, regardless of mileage accumulation.
  • The 1.8 V10 variant carries the same 15,000 km / 12-month check interval across both its 2000-2003 and 2003-2006 production periods, with the 1-liter capacity also unchanged between the two generations.
  • The 2.2 Di V10 from 2000-2003 and both 2.2 dCi V10 variants from 2003-2006 are specified at a longer check interval of 20,000 km / 12 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 15,000 km interval assigned to the petrol engines. The 20,000 km figure represents a 33% longer distance-based interval relative to the petrol specification.
  • The two 2.2 dCi variants from 2003-2006 differ only in power output, rated at 100 kW and 82 kW respectively, yet both share identical power steering fluid specifications of 1 liter capacity and a 20,000 km / 12-month check interval. The difference in output between the two diesel variants does not affect the power steering service parameters.
  • All six configurations across the 2000-2006 model range are designated under normal use conditions. In service specification terminology, normal use typically refers to standard on-road driving patterns as opposed to severe duty cycles involving extreme temperatures, heavy towing, or frequent short-distance operation.
