Additional Notes

  • All manual transaxle configurations across the Nissan Bluebird (EU) 1984-1990 range share a uniform check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The transaxle designation used throughout all rows indicates a combined transmission and differential housing, which is typical of front-wheel-drive layouts and explains why a single fluid fill covers both functions.
  • The 1.8 Turbo variant on the T12 platform carries a manual transaxle capacity of 2.7 liters, placing it among the higher-capacity entries in the lineup despite sharing a body platform with the non-turbo 1.8.
  • The non-turbo 1.8 on the T12 and U11 platforms has two listed capacity values: 2.6 liters and 2.7 liters. Both entries share the same platform codes and model year range, indicating a variation tied to a specific gearbox unit rather than a model year or trim difference.
  • The 2.0-liter petrol variant on the T12 and U11 platforms similarly carries two listed capacities, 2.6 liters and 2.7 liters, mirroring the split seen in the 1.8 non-turbo entries and pointing to the presence of more than one manual transaxle assembly used across the same engine and platform combination.
  • The 2.0 Diesel and 2.0 Turbo Diesel variants, both spanning the T12 and U11 platforms from 1984-1990, each carry a single listed transaxle capacity of 2.7 liters, with no secondary capacity value listed for either.
  • A capacity of 2.6 liters appears only in the non-turbo petrol configurations, specifically the 1.8 and 2.0 petrol entries, while all turbocharged and diesel variants are listed exclusively at 2.7 liters.
  • The check interval specification of 10,000 km or 6 months applies uniformly across all seven configurations under normal use, meaning no configuration in the lineup carries a shortened or extended interval relative to the others.
