Additional Notes

  • Across all listed configurations of the Nissan Qashqai J12 (EU), the brake fluid level specification is expressed as "between min and max" rather than a fixed volume, which is consistent with a service top-up or condition check rather than a measured overhaul fill quantity.
  • The 1.3 DIG-T MHEV variants in both 103 kW and 116 kW outputs share identical service intervals: a fluid level check at 30,000 km or 12 months and a full fluid change at 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1.3 DIG-T MHEV 103 kW and 116 kW variants both require a brake fluid change at 30,000 km or 12 months, effectively halving the change interval compared to normal use.
  • The 116 kW AWD configuration carries the same brake fluid service intervals as the front-wheel-drive 116 kW variant, with a normal-use change at 60,000 km or 24 months and a severe-use change at 30,000 km or 12 months.
  • The system note for all 1.3 DIG-T MHEV variants references a "hydraulic brake/clutch system," indicating the brake fluid reservoir serves both the braking circuit and the hydraulic clutch actuation on manual transmission versions.
  • The 1.5 e-Power variant, introduced from 2022, carries a system note of "hydraulic brake system" without reference to a clutch, which aligns with the e-Power powertrain architecture that does not use a conventional friction clutch.
  • Under normal use, the 1.5 e-Power specifies a fluid level check at 15,000 km or 12 months and a change at 30,000 km or 24 months, placing the check interval at half the distance of the 1.3 DIG-T MHEV variants.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1.5 e-Power requires a brake fluid change at 15,000 km or 12 months, which is the shortest change interval among all configurations listed in the specifications.
