Nissan Pulsar, C13 (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Nissan Pulsar, C13 (EU) coolant capacity ranges from 7,4 to 9 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km/12 months or 30000 km/12 months, and changes at 60000 km/48 months, 90000 km/60 months, or 100000 km/60 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Pulsar C13 (EU) 1.2 DIG-T cooling system capacity differs depending on transmission type, holding 7.6 liters with a manual transmission and 9 liters with a CVT transmission, reflecting the additional thermal load the CVT unit places on the cooling circuit.
  • The 1.5 dCi DPF variant carries a cooling system capacity of 7.4 liters, which is the smallest figure across all three engine configurations in the 2014-2018 lineup.
  • The 1.6 DIG-T, available from 2015-2018, lists a capacity range of 8.5-8.7 liters rather than a fixed value, indicating a tolerance band in the fill specification rather than a single precise volume.
  • Under normal use conditions, all three engine variants share the same coolant change interval of 60,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first.
  • The first change only condition extends the initial coolant change interval significantly. For the 1.2 DIG-T and 1.6 DIG-T, the first change is due at 100,000 km or 60 months, while the 1.5 dCi DPF calls for a first change at 90,000 km or 60 months.
  • The check interval for the 1.5 dCi DPF is 30,000 km or 12 months, which is longer in distance terms than the 20,000 km or 12 months check interval specified for both the 1.2 DIG-T and 1.6 DIG-T.
  • The time-based check interval of 12 months is consistent across all engine variants and both use conditions, meaning annual inspection of the cooling system applies regardless of engine type or mileage accumulation.
