Nissan Micra / March, K10 (EU)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Micra / March, K10 (EU) power steering fluid capacity is 1 liter. Service intervals are 20000 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 Micra / March K10 power steering system holds a capacity of 1 liter across all four listed configurations, covering both the 1.0 and 1.2 engine variants as well as the DX and GL trim designations.
  • A 1-liter capacity in a power steering reservoir is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the compact dimensions of the K10 platform and the small-displacement engines paired with it.
  • The 1.0 and 1.2 engine variants from 1989-1991 carry an explicit service check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 20,000 km / 12-month check interval applies to normal use, meaning operating conditions outside that classification could alter the practical servicing frequency in real-world application.
  • The DX 1.0 and GL 1.0 trim configurations from 1983-1989 share the same 1-liter capacity as the later variants but have no check interval listed in the specifications.
  • The capacity figure remains unchanged between the 1983-1989 and 1989-1991 model year groups, indicating no volumetric change to the power steering reservoir across the K10 generation covered here.
  • Both the 1.0 and 1.2 engine variants in the 1989-1991 group share identical capacity and interval specifications, meaning engine displacement did not produce a difference in power steering fluid requirements for those years.
