Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Murano Z50 transfer case holds 0.3 liter of fluid across all listed model years and markets, a small capacity consistent with the compact, electronically controlled transfer units found in crossover AWD systems rather than traditional body-on-frame transfer cases.
  • The 2003 Canadian-market specification lists only a check interval of 6000 km with no fluid change interval, while the 2004-2008 Canadian specifications add a 48000 km change interval alongside the same 6000 km check interval.
  • The 6000 km check interval in the Canadian specifications applies under normal use conditions, meaning routine driving without the elevated stress factors that would qualify as severe service.
  • USA-market specifications across all years from 2003-2008 set the check interval at 15000 miles or 12 months under normal use conditions, with no fluid change interval prescribed for normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions in the USA market, a fluid change interval of 30000 miles or 24 months is added to the 15000-mile/12-month check interval, applying to all listed years from 2003-2008.
  • The Canadian market check interval of 6000 km converts to roughly 3700 miles, which is considerably shorter than the 15000-mile USA check interval, reflecting a difference in how each market's maintenance schedule is structured rather than a difference in the hardware itself.
  • The Canadian 48000 km change interval is broadly equivalent to approximately 30000 miles, aligning closely with the severe-use change interval specified for the USA market, though the Canadian figure applies under normal use conditions.
