Nissan Maxima QX (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Nissan Maxima QX (EU) coolant capacity ranges from 0,8 to 7,8 liters. Service intervals include changing every 60000 km or 24 months and checking every 30000 km or 12 months. 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) 2.0 V6 cooling system holds 7.8 liters, while the 3.0 V6 ranges between 7.0 and 7.5 liters depending on configuration, making the 2.0 V6 the larger-capacity cooling system of the two engine variants.
  • The 3.0 V6 in the 1995-2000 model years carries a drive-side capacity distinction: left-hand drive units hold 7.0 liters, while right-hand drive units hold 7.5 liters. No such split is listed for the 2.0 V6 of the same period.
  • Across all four configurations, the filter capacity is consistently rated at 0.8 liters, representing the volume held within the coolant filter component separate from the main system fill.
  • The coolant change interval is uniform across all four configurations at 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 2000-2004 model years for both the 2.0 V6 and 3.0 V6 introduce a coolant check interval of 30,000 km or 12 months, a specification absent from the 1995-2000 rows. A check interval at half the change distance indicates a mid-cycle inspection point without a full fluid replacement.
  • The 1995-2000 rows for both engine variants list only a change interval with no intermediate check interval, meaning the sole scheduled coolant service action within that generation was the full replacement at 60,000 km or 24 months.
  • The 3.0 V6 in the 2000-2004 period lists a single 7.0-liter capacity with no drive-side variation, whereas the same engine in the 1995-2000 period carried two distinct capacity values based on steering configuration.
