Additional Notes

  • Across all four powertrain variants of the Nissan Serena C23 (EU), the manual transmission fluid capacity is 2.1 liters under normal use conditions, indicating a consistent gearbox unit shared between the petrol and diesel engine families in the lineup.
  • A 2.1-liter fill is a service fill figure, meaning the quantity of fluid required when draining and refilling the transmission during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul, which would typically account for additional fluid retained in internal passages and components.
  • The 1.6-16V and 2.0-16V petrol variants share the same 2.1-liter capacity across the full 1992-2000 model year span, while the 2.0 Diesel covers only 1992-1995 at the same capacity, and the 2.3 Diesel enters the specification from 1996-2000.
  • The 2.3 Diesel is the only variant in the specification set to carry an explicit service interval, listed as a check every 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • A 30,000 km or 12-month check interval for the 2.3 Diesel manual transmission is a relatively frequent schedule, reflecting the inspection-based nature of the service rather than a mandatory fluid replacement at each interval.
  • The 1.6-16V, 2.0 Diesel, and 2.0-16V variants carry no stated check or change interval in the specifications, with only the fluid capacity recorded for normal use conditions.
