Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Murano Z50 3.5 AWD rear differential holds 0.6 liter across all model years and markets covered in these specifications, a figure consistent with the compact rear differential unit used in AWD crossover applications rather than a larger truck-type axle assembly.
  • The Canadian-market 2003 specification lists only a check interval of 6000 km, with no fluid change interval recorded, while the 2004-2008 Canadian entries add a 48000 km change interval alongside the same 6000 km check schedule.
  • The 6000 km check interval in the Canadian specifications represents a relatively short inspection cycle, reflecting the metric-market service schedule structure used in Canada for this generation.
  • USA-market specifications for 2003-2008 set the check interval at 15000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both normal and severe use conditions across all covered years.
  • Under severe use conditions in the USA market, a fluid change at 30000 miles or 24 months is specified for 2003-2008, while normal use entries for the same years carry no change interval, only the check requirement.
  • The distinction between normal and severe use in the USA-market rows directly determines whether a fluid change interval applies at all, since the 30000-mile or 24-month change interval appears exclusively in the severe-use entries.
  • The Canadian market does not split specifications into normal and severe use categories for this system; a single set of intervals applies regardless of operating conditions, in contrast to the dual-condition structure used in the USA-market entries.
  • The 48000 km Canadian change interval and the 30000-mile USA severe-use change interval represent different numerical values that reflect both the metric-to-imperial conversion difference and the distinct service schedule frameworks applied in each market.
