Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Serena C23 (EU) 1.6-16V carries a rear limited slip differential fluid capacity of 1.5 liters, a figure that reflects a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul drain-and-refill, as limited slip units typically retain residual fluid in the clutch pack area.
  • Both the 2.0 Diesel (1992-1995) and the 2.0-16V (1992-2000) share an identical rear limited slip differential capacity of 1.3 liters, despite differing in engine type and, in the diesel's case, a shorter production span within the C23 generation.
  • The 1.6-16V and the 2.3 Diesel share the same 1.5-liter differential capacity, yet the two variants differ in differential type: the 1.6-16V carries a limited slip unit, while the 2.3 Diesel is fitted with a standard rear differential.
  • Among the four configurations listed, only the 2.3 Diesel specifies a service interval, set at 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The absence of a service interval entry for the limited slip differential variants in the 1.6-16V, 2.0 Diesel, and 2.0-16V rows means no scheduled check interval is defined for those units within the available specifications.
  • The 2.0 Diesel covers only the 1992-1995 period within the C23 generation, making its 1.3-liter limited slip differential specification applicable to a narrower model year window compared to the 1.6-16V and 2.0-16V, both of which span 1992-2000.
