Nissan Leaf, ZE1 (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Nissan Leaf, ZE1 (EU) coolant capacity ranges from 0,51 to 4,67 liters. Service intervals include checks every 30000 km or 12 months, and changes at 60000 km or 48 months and 90000 km or 60 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Leaf ZE1 (EU) electric motor cooling system carries a capacity range of 4.63 to 4.67 liters across the 2017-2018 model entries, reflecting a small but defined tolerance band rather than a single fixed fill volume.
  • From 2018 onward, the standard Leaf separates the total cooling capacity into two distinct figures: 4.63 liters for the main system and 0.51 liters for the reservoir, a breakdown absent from the 2017-2018 combined range entry.
  • The Leaf e+ from 2018 onward carries a main system capacity of 4.67 liters alongside the same 0.51-liter reservoir figure, placing it at the upper end of the capacity range seen across all configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the coolant change interval for the electric motor cooling system is set at 60,000 km or 48 months across all listed configurations.
  • A first change only condition extends the initial coolant change interval to 90,000 km or 60 months, applying to all listed configurations regardless of model year or variant.
  • The check interval of 30,000 km or 12 months is consistent across every row in the specifications, applying under both normal and first change only conditions without variation.
  • The extended first change interval of 90,000 km or 60 months represents a 50 percent increase in distance and a 25 percent increase in time compared to the standard 60,000 km or 48-month normal use interval.
