Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Pathfinder R51 (EU) manual transmission holds either 4.3 or 4.32 liters of fluid depending on the engine variant, a difference of 0.02 liters that distinguishes the earlier 2.5 dCi configurations from the later ones introduced from 2010 onward.
  • The 4.3-liter capacity applies to the 2.5 dCi variants rated at 120 kW, 126 kW, and 128 kW, all spanning 2005-2010, and represents the service fill volume for the manual gearbox rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill figure.
  • The 4.32-liter capacity is shared across the 2.5 dCi (140 kW), the 2.5 dCi (140 kW) DPF, and the 3.0 dCi DPF, all of which fall within the 2010-2014 period.
  • Among the 2010-2014 variants, the 2.5 dCi (140 kW) without DPF carries a check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, while the otherwise identical 2.5 dCi (140 kW) DPF version is specified at a shorter interval of 12 months or 20,000 km.
  • The 3.0 dCi DPF shares the same 12-month or 20,000 km check interval as the 2.5 dCi (140 kW) DPF, despite being a larger displacement engine with a different power output.
  • The 24-month or 30,000 km check interval applies to all three 2005-2010 diesel variants as well as the non-DPF 2.5 dCi (140 kW) from 2010-2014, making the time-based component a two-year cycle under normal use conditions for those configurations.
  • The presence or absence of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) on the 2.5 dCi (140 kW) results in different service intervals despite an identical fluid capacity of 4.32 liters, indicating that the DPF designation carries a practical distinction in maintenance scheduling for the manual transmission.
