Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Maxima QX (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity for the 2.0 V6 differs between generations, with the 1995-2000 variant holding 4.5 liters compared to 4.3 liters in the 2000-2004 variant.
  • The 3.0 V6 manual transaxle capacity holds at 4.3 liters across both the 1995-2000 and 2000-2004 generations, showing no change between the two production periods.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and drive axle differential into a single housing, meaning the 4.3-4.5 liter capacities listed here represent the total fluid volume for that combined unit rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • The 2.0 V6 in the 1995-2000 generation carries a notably higher transaxle capacity of 4.5 liters, which stands as the largest figure across all four configurations in the specifications.
  • All four configurations share an identical service interval of every 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, regardless of engine displacement or model year generation.
  • The interval structure uses a dual trigger of time and distance, meaning a fluid check is due when either the 12-month or 30,000 km threshold is reached first, whichever comes sooner.
  • The 0.2-liter reduction in the 2.0 V6 transaxle capacity from the 1995-2000 generation to the 2000-2004 generation suggests a revision to the transaxle unit itself between those two production periods.
