Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Altima L34 2.5 AWD transfer case holds 0.31 liter of fluid across all listed configurations, a notably small capacity consistent with the compact transfer box unit used in this AWD system.
  • Under normal use conditions, the Canadian-market 2.5 AWD specifies a fluid check interval of every 16,000 km or 12 months, with no fluid change interval listed for that condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the Canadian-market 2.5 AWD adds a fluid change interval of every 32,000 km or 24 months on top of the same 16,000 km / 12-month check interval.
  • The USA-market 2.5 AWD under normal use conditions specifies a fluid check at every 10,000 miles or 12 months, with no change interval assigned to that condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the USA-market 2.5 AWD carries a fluid change interval of every 20,000 miles or 24 months, alongside the standard 10,000-mile / 12-month check schedule.
  • The 12-month time-based check interval is shared across both the Canadian and USA markets regardless of use condition, meaning calendar time serves as a consistent service trigger in all configurations.
  • The 2018-2021 and 2021- Canadian-market configurations carry identical capacity and interval figures, with 0.31 liter capacity and the same check and change schedules applying across both model year groupings.
  • The same equivalence holds for the USA market, where the 2018-2021 and 2021- configurations share identical 0.31 liter capacity values and matching check and change intervals under both normal and severe use conditions.
