Additional Notes
- The Nissan Patrol (EU) transfer case fluid capacity across the 2.8 4WD, 3.3 D, and 3.3 TD configurations is 1.8 liters, which represents a service fill volume for the transferbox unit.
- The Patrol R 3.0 4WD, 260 (1990-1991) carries a slightly higher transfer case fluid capacity of 1.9 liters, making the transferbox in that engine variant the largest among the four configurations listed.
- All four configurations share an identical check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first under normal use conditions.
- The fluid change interval for all four configurations is set at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use, meaning a full drain-and-fill cycle on the transferbox is due roughly every two years at that mileage threshold.
- The 3.3 D and 3.3 TD variants share the same 1.8-liter capacity and identical service intervals despite differing in induction type, with the naturally aspirated 3.3 D covering 1981-1990 and the turbodiesel 3.3 TD covering 1983-1990.
- The 2.8 4WD configuration spans the full 1981-1993 range, the longest production window among the four, yet retains the same 1.8-liter capacity and service schedule as the earlier diesel variants.
