Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Bluebird (EU) automatic transaxle specifications cover the 1984-1990 model years across the T12 and U11 chassis designations, with all listed configurations referencing a transaxle unit rather than a conventional separate transmission and differential arrangement.
  • Two distinct capacity figures appear across the specifications: 6 liters and 6.5 liters. Both values represent total transaxle fluid fill capacities under normal use conditions, meaning the figures reflect the full fluid volume the unit holds rather than a partial service drain-and-fill quantity.
  • The 1.8 Turbo variant on the T12 chassis carries a single listed capacity of 6.5 liters, while the naturally aspirated 1.8 on the T12 and U11 chassis has two separate capacity entries, one at 6 liters and one at 6.5 liters, indicating a difference between transaxle variants fitted to the same engine and chassis combination.
  • The 2.0-liter engine fitted to the T12 and U11 chassis follows the same dual-capacity pattern as the naturally aspirated 1.8, with entries at both 6 liters and 6.5 liters, pointing to the presence of more than one transaxle unit type across the 2.0-liter model range.
  • The 0.5-liter difference between the two capacity figures across the 1.8 and 2.0 configurations is consistent in magnitude, suggesting the variation stems from physically different transaxle assemblies rather than measurement or rounding differences.
  • All five specification rows are assigned a normal use condition, meaning none of the listed capacity values are tied to a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
