Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Cube Z12 (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity varies by engine, with the 1.5 dCi variants holding 2 liters and the 1.6 petrol variant holding 2.6 liters.
  • A 2-liter transaxle fill, as seen in the 1.5 dCi and 1.5 dCi DPF configurations, is a relatively modest capacity typical of compact front-wheel-drive manual transaxle units.
  • The 1.6 petrol variant's 2.6-liter transaxle capacity is 30% greater than the diesel variants, which reflects a physically different transaxle unit rather than a simple fluid top-up difference.
  • Both the 1.5 dCi and 1.5 dCi DPF share an identical 2-liter capacity and a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, indicating the DPF equipment does not alter the transaxle specification.
  • The 1.6 petrol variant carries a check interval of 30,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, which is 10,000 km longer than the interval assigned to the diesel variants.
  • All three configurations across 2010-2011 are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the stated check intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
  • The fluid specification for all three variants covers a transaxle rather than a standalone gearbox, meaning the single fluid fill serves both the gear set and the differential in a combined unit.
