Nissan Skyline, R31/R32/R33/R34 (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Skyline R31/R32/R33/R34 (EU) models utilize differential fluid with a capacity range of 1 to 1,5 liters. Service intervals require changes every 100000 km or 24 months. The data covers 10 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all listed configurations of the Nissan Skyline covering the R32, R33, and R34 generations, the front differential capacity is uniformly specified at 1 liter, while the rear differential capacity is uniformly specified at 1.5 liters.
  • The 0.5-liter difference between front and rear differential capacities reflects the generally larger housing and gear set found in rear differentials on all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive platforms, where the rear unit handles primary torque delivery.
  • The rear differential service interval is specified at 100,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, across every listed configuration.
  • No service interval is listed for the front differential on any configuration, meaning only a fill capacity of 1 liter is specified for that unit.
  • The GT-R 2.6 in both R32 (1989-1994) and R33 (1995-1998) generations shares identical front and rear differential capacities with the R34-generation 2.0, 2.5, and GT-T 2.5 variants, indicating a consistent differential fluid volume specification across a broad span of model years and engine variants.
  • All specifications are given under a normal use condition, meaning no separate severe-use intervals or capacities are listed for any of the differential positions across the covered configurations.
