Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Patrol Y60 (EU) transfer case holds 1.9 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, spanning both the GR and R body variants and covering diesel and petrol engine options from 1987-1997.
  • A 1.9-liter transfer case capacity is a service fill figure, representing the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the unit during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul or dry-build quantity.
  • The Patrol GR 2.8 TD specifies a full fluid change at 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, making the interval notably longer in calendar terms than the change intervals listed for the 4.2 GR under severe use.
  • The Patrol GR 4.2 4WD (1992-1997) carries two separate service entries depending on use conditions. Under normal use, the specification calls for a fluid check at 12 months or 30,000 km, while severe use conditions require a full fluid change at 60,000 km or 24 months.
  • The distinction between a check interval and a change interval is significant. A check interval requires inspecting fluid level and condition without necessarily replacing the fluid, whereas a change interval mandates full drainage and replacement.
  • All R-variant configurations listed, including the Patrol R 2.8 4WD (1993-1997), Patrol R 2.8 D 4WD (1991-1993), Patrol R 4.2 4WD (1992-1997), and Patrol R 4.2 D 4WD (1992-1997), share an identical normal-use service specification of a fluid check every 12 months or 30,000 km.
  • The Patrol R 2.8 D 4WD covers the years 1991-1993, a narrower production window compared to several other listed variants that run through 1997, though the transfer case capacity and check interval remain consistent with the broader R-series entries.
  • The Patrol GR 2.8 TD is the only configuration in the dataset with a model year starting in 1987, predating all other listed variants by several years, and is also the only entry specifying a change rather than a check under normal use conditions.
