Nissan Quest, V40 (USA / CAN)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Nissan Quest, V40 (USA / CAN) coolant capacity ranges from 10,7 to 12,1 liters. Service intervals occur every 30000 miles or 36 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 Nissan Quest 3.0 (USA) cooling system holds 10.7 liters as the standard fill capacity across the 1994-1998 model years.
  • Vehicles equipped with the 4-zone air conditioning system carry a notably larger coolant capacity of 12.1 liters, reflecting the additional heat exchange demands of that configuration.
  • The 1.4-liter difference between the standard and 4-zone air conditioning capacities is a meaningful service distinction, as underfilling a system equipped with the larger configuration could leave portions of the extended circuit without adequate coolant coverage.
  • The normal-use service interval for coolant change is set at 30,000 miles or 36 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both the 1994-1995 and 1996-1998 model year groups.
  • The 36-month time limit on the coolant change interval means a vehicle driven well under 30,000 miles in three years would still require a coolant change based on elapsed time alone under normal-use conditions.
  • The capacity and change interval specifications are identical between the 1994-1995 and 1996-1998 model year groups, indicating no revision to cooling system service requirements occurred across the mid-cycle transition.
