Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Patrol (EU) 2.8-liter variants in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, produced from 1981-1993, share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.7 liters, indicating the same gearbox unit across both drivetrain layouts.
  • The 3.0-liter variants rated at 260 hp carry a notably higher manual transmission fluid capacity of 3.6 liters, which is 0.9 liters more than the 2.7-liter figure specified for the 2.8-liter and 3.3-liter variants, reflecting a physically larger gearbox assembly.
  • As with the 2.8-liter range, the 3.0-liter 2WD and 4WD configurations share the same 3.6-liter capacity, again pointing to a common transmission unit regardless of drivetrain configuration.
  • The 3.3 D and 3.3 TD diesel variants, both rated at 160 hp, carry the same 2.7-liter manual transmission fluid capacity as the 2.8-liter petrol variants, suggesting a shared or dimensionally equivalent gearbox across those engine families.
  • A fluid check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions applies uniformly across all six configurations, meaning the time-based threshold would trigger service first in low-mileage applications.
  • The fluid change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions is consistent across all listed variants, placing the time-based interval at roughly four times the check frequency.
  • The 3.3 TD turbodiesel variant has a production window of 1983-1990, making it the shortest-running configuration in the lineup, while sharing the same 2.7-liter capacity and service intervals as the naturally aspirated 3.3 D produced from 1981-1990.
