Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Cube Z12 1.8 cooling system capacity differs by transmission type across all model years covered, with CVT-equipped vehicles holding 7.1 liters and manual transmission vehicles holding 6.8 liters.
  • The 0.3-liter difference between CVT and manual transmission configurations reflects the additional coolant volume associated with transmission fluid cooling circuits integrated into the CVT system.
  • For 2009-2010 USA models under normal use conditions, the coolant change interval is set at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • The initial service interval for 2009-2010 USA models extends to 60,000 miles or 48 months, meaning the first factory-fill coolant change is deferred significantly beyond the subsequent normal-use schedule.
  • For 2011-2014 USA models, the normal use coolant change interval doubles to 60,000 miles or 48 months compared to the 2009-2010 normal use specification of 30,000 miles or 24 months.
  • The initial service interval for 2011-2014 USA models reaches 105,000 miles or 84 months, representing a notably extended factory-fill service life relative to the 2009-2010 initial service interval of 60,000 miles or 48 months.
  • The 84-month initial service interval on 2011-2014 USA models corresponds to a seven-year period before the first coolant change is required, which is consistent with long-life coolant formulations used as factory fills in later production runs.
