Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Micra K13 1.6 (CAN) cooling system capacity differs slightly depending on transmission type, holding 6.6 liters with an automatic transmission and 6.7 liters with a manual transmission across the 2014-2019 model years.
  • A 0.1-liter difference between automatic and manual transmission variants reflects the minor variation in coolant volume that each drivetrain configuration routes through the system.
  • Under normal use conditions, the cooling system is due for a coolant check every 8,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
  • The normal-use change interval is set at 120,000 km or 60 months, which equals a five-year replacement cycle under standard operating conditions.
  • A separate first-change-only interval extends the initial drain-and-fill to 168,000 km or 84 months, which is seven years from new. Factory-fill coolant formulations are often designed to last longer before the first service, accounting for the extended interval compared to subsequent changes.
  • The same capacity figures of 6.6 liters (automatic) and 6.7 liters (manual) apply under the first-change-only condition, confirming the system volume is consistent regardless of service interval category.
  • The check interval of 8,000 km or 6 months remains identical across both the normal and first-change-only rows, meaning inspection frequency does not change based on which service interval applies.
