Additional Notes
- The Nissan Maxima A34 3.5 manual transaxle holds 2.2 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, a figure that represents a service fill capacity for the transmission unit.
- Under normal use conditions, the service interval for the Canadian-market 3.5 is a fluid level check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change.
- Under severe use conditions, the Canadian-market 3.5 calls for a fluid change at 30,000 miles or 24 months, doubling both the mileage and time thresholds compared to the normal-use check interval.
- The USA-market 3.5 shares the same normal-use interval structure as the Canadian variant, with a fluid level check scheduled at 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Severe use conditions for the USA-market 3.5 also align with the Canadian specification, placing the fluid change interval at 30,000 miles or 24 months.
- The 2.2-liter transaxle capacity is consistent across both the USA and Canadian markets for the 2003-2006 model years, indicating no regional variation in the physical fluid volume requirement.
