Additional Notes

  • The rear differential fluid capacity for the Nissan Murano Z51 3.5 AWD is 0.6 liter across all listed configurations, covering both USA and CAN markets for 2008-2014.
  • A 0.6 liter capacity is a relatively small fill volume, consistent with a compact rear differential unit rather than a large axle assembly, and represents a service fill rather than an overhaul quantity.
  • Canadian market specifications call for a rear differential fluid check every 6,000 km and a fluid change every 48,000 km under normal use conditions, applying to both the 2008-2012 and 2012-2014 configurations.
  • USA market specifications under normal use conditions require only a fluid check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, with no change interval listed for that condition, while the Canadian market specifies a full change interval of 48,000 km under equivalent normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions in the USA market, a rear differential fluid change is specified at 30,000 miles or 24 months, in addition to the same 15,000-mile or 12-month check interval that applies under normal use.
  • The severe use change interval of 30,000 miles represents a notably more frequent service requirement compared to the Canadian normal-use change interval of 48,000 km, which is approximately 29,826 miles, placing the two figures in a similar range despite different market classifications.
  • The specifications are divided into two overlapping year ranges, 2008-2012 and 2012-2014, with 2012 appearing in both, yet the fluid capacity and service intervals remain identical across both ranges for each respective market.
