Nissan Qashqai, J11 (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Qashqai, J11 (EU) differential fluid capacity ranges from 0,55 to 0,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 12 months/30000 km and 20000 km/12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The rear differential on the Nissan Qashqai J11 1.6 dCi DPF AWD holds 0.6 liters of fluid, while the 1.7 dCi DPF AWD variant carries a slightly smaller capacity of 0.55 liters. Both figures represent service fill volumes for the rear differential unit.
  • The 0.6-liter capacity listed for the 1.6 dCi DPF AWD covers the 2014-2018 model years, and the 0.55-liter figure applies to the 1.7 dCi DPF AWD from 2018-2020. The reduction of 0.05 liters between the two engine generations reflects a difference in rear differential design rather than a minor measurement variation.
  • Both configurations share a 12-month time interval for rear differential fluid checks, meaning calendar time serves as a consistent service trigger regardless of which engine or drivetrain generation is involved.
  • The 1.6 dCi DPF AWD pairs the 12-month interval with a 30,000 km distance threshold under normal use conditions, while the 1.7 dCi DPF AWD uses a shorter 20,000 km distance threshold under the same normal use classification. The earlier engine generation therefore allows a greater distance between checks.
