Additional Notes
- The Nissan Maxima QX (EU) carries a power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter across all four configurations spanning the 2.0 V6 and 3.0 V6 engine variants from 1995 to 2004.
- A 1-liter capacity in a power steering system is a relatively modest reservoir volume, consistent with rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball systems found in mid-size passenger cars of that era, where the reservoir holds fluid for circulation rather than large-volume actuation.
- The 2.0 V6 configurations for both the 1995-2000 and 2000-2004 model periods share an identical check interval of 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions.
- The 3.0 V6 variant from 1995-2000 also follows the 12-month or 30,000 km check interval under normal use, placing it in alignment with the 2.0 V6 specifications of the same generation.
- The 3.0 V6 from 2000-2004 carries a notably extended check interval of 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, which is double the distance and time interval specified for the earlier 3.0 V6 generation.
- The shift in the 3.0 V6 check interval between the 1995-2000 and 2000-2004 periods represents the most significant specification variation across all four configurations, despite the fluid capacity remaining unchanged at 1 liter.
