Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Maxima J30 automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 7.4 liters, which is consistent with a full service fill figure covering the entire transaxle assembly rather than a partial drain-and-fill procedure.
  • The 7.4-liter capacity reflects the combined volume of the transmission and differential housed within a single transaxle unit, a common arrangement in front-wheel-drive vehicles of the J30 generation.
  • The service interval for the J30 automatic transaxle fluid is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 12-month time-based component of the 20,000 km / 12-month interval means fluid condition is evaluated on a calendar basis regardless of mileage accumulation, which is relevant for vehicles driven infrequently.
  • The specification applies uniformly across the 1989-1995 model years of the J30 Maxima, with no variation in capacity or interval recorded across that production span.
