Nissan Murano, Z51 (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Murano, Z51 (EU) transfer case fluid capacity ranges from 0,31 to 0,36 liters. Service intervals include checks every 15000 km or 12 months and 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Murano Z51 (EU) transfer case fluid specifications cover two distinct engine variants, each carrying a different fluid capacity and a different check interval.
  • The 2.5 dCi variant, produced from 2010-2015, holds 0.36 liters of transfer case fluid, which is a notably small volume consistent with a compact transfer unit rather than a large four-wheel-drive assembly.
  • The 3.5 V6 variant, spanning 2008-2015, holds 0.31 liters, placing its transfer case capacity below that of the 2.5 dCi despite the larger displacement engine.
  • A 0.05-liter difference in capacity between the two variants is small in absolute terms yet represents a meaningful percentage gap relative to volumes this low, reflecting differences in the physical transfer unit design between the diesel and petrol configurations.
  • The 2.5 dCi transfer case fluid is subject to a check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 3.5 V6 transfer case fluid carries a shorter distance-based check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning the petrol variant reaches its service checkpoint 5,000 km sooner than the diesel.
  • Both variants share the 12-month time-based component of the check interval, meaning calendar time acts as an equal constraint across both engine types regardless of the differing mileage thresholds.
