Nissan Maxima QX (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Maxima QX (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 9,4 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 12 months or 30000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Maxima QX (EU) automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 9.4 liters across all four configurations spanning the 1995-2004 period.
  • The 9.4-liter figure represents a total system fill, which is the volume associated with a full overhaul or dry fill rather than a partial drain-and-refill service, where a lower quantity would typically be recovered.
  • Both the 2.0 V6 and 3.0 V6 engine variants share the identical 9.4-liter transaxle capacity, indicating no displacement-related difference in the automatic transmission unit used across the model range.
  • The check interval for all configurations is set at 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, reflecting a time-and-distance dual-trigger service schedule.
  • The 30,000 km distance interval is relatively frequent by modern standards, which is consistent with the maintenance expectations of mid-1990s to early-2000s automatic transaxle designs.
  • The specifications carry over without change between the 1995-2000 and 2000-2004 model year groupings for both engine variants, meaning the mid-cycle update around 2000 introduced no revision to fluid capacity or service interval requirements.
