Additional Notes

  • All four engine variants of the Nissan Micra / March K12 (EU) share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 7.7 liters, indicating a consistent transmission unit across the lineup regardless of engine output differences.
  • A capacity figure of 7.7 liters represents a total system fill, which is typical of a full overhaul or dry-fill specification rather than a partial drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • The 1.2 16V engine was available in two distinct power outputs for the K12 generation: 48 kW and 59 kW. Both share the same 7.7-liter automatic transaxle capacity and the same 15,000 km or 12-month check interval.
  • The fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months applies under normal use conditions across all listed configurations, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger the service.
  • The 1.6 16V variant covers the 2005-2008 model years, a narrower window compared to the 2003-2010 span of the 1.2 and 1.4 16V engines, yet carries the same 7.7-liter capacity and check interval specification.
  • The transaxle designation indicates the automatic transmission and final drive are housed in a single integrated unit, which is a common layout in front-wheel-drive subcompact vehicles and accounts for the combined fluid volume.
