Additional Notes

  • Across all four configurations of the Nissan Micra / March K10 (EU), the automatic transmission fluid capacity is uniformly listed at 6 liters, a figure that applies to both the transmission and transaxle variants covered in the specifications.
  • A 6-liter capacity in a small-displacement automatic unit of this era typically reflects a total system fill, encompassing the torque converter, valve body, and fluid passages rather than a simple pan drain refill volume.
  • The 1.0-liter and 1.2-liter engine variants from 1989-1991 share an identical 6-liter capacity, indicating no fluid volume difference between the two engine displacements in the transaxle-equipped configurations.
  • The 1989-1991 configurations carry a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, while the 1983-1989 DX and GL configurations list only a capacity figure with no check interval specified.
  • The 1983-1989 DX 1.0 variant is noted as a transmission, automatic, whereas the GL 1.0 from the same period is noted as a transaxle, automatic, representing a distinction in drivetrain layout between two trim levels sharing the same model years and capacity value.
  • The GL 1.0 from 1983-1989 and both 1989-1991 variants are all designated as transaxle configurations, meaning the gearbox and differential are housed in a single integrated unit, which is consistent with the front-wheel-drive architecture of the K10 platform.
