Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Maxima J30 manual transaxle holds 4.7 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with a combined gearbox and differential housing typical of front-wheel-drive transaxle assemblies, where a single fluid fill serves both functions.
  • The 4.7-liter capacity applies to a service fill, meaning the volume expected when draining and refilling during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul with complete disassembly.
  • The specified check interval is every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, and applies under normal use conditions for the J30 manual transaxle across the 1989-1995 model years.
  • A 12-month time-based interval running alongside the 20,000 km mileage interval means low-mileage vehicles driven infrequently are still subject to annual fluid inspection, as time alone can degrade fluid properties.
