Nissan Murano, Z51 (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Murano, Z51 (EU) differential fluid capacity is 0,55 liter. Service intervals include checking every 15000 km/12 months or 20000 km/12 months, and changing every 30000 km/24 months or 40000 km/48 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • Both the 2.5 dCi and the 3.5 V6 share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 0.55 liter, which is a service fill figure reflecting the small volume typical of a rear differential unit rather than a full overhaul drain-and-refill of a larger assembly.
  • For the Nissan Murano Z51 3.5 V6 covering 2008-2015, the normal-use condition calls for a rear differential fluid check at every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use, the 3.5 V6 rear differential fluid interval moves to a full change at 30,000 km or 24 months, meaning the fluid is replaced rather than simply inspected at that interval.
  • The 2.5 dCi, available from 2010-2015, carries a longer normal-use check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months for the rear differential, compared to the 15,000 km interval specified for the 3.5 V6 under the same condition.
  • Under severe use, the 2.5 dCi rear differential fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months, which is notably longer in both distance and time than the 30,000 km or 24 months assigned to the 3.5 V6 under the same condition.
  • The severe-use interval for the 2.5 dCi specifies a fluid change, not merely a check, indicating a full replacement of the 0.55 liter fill at that mileage or time threshold.
