Nissan Stanza (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Stanza (EU) requires Automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 6 liters. Service intervals include Normal use. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Stanza 1.6, T11 (1982-1986)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 6 liter
  • Code: 4/1
Stanza 1.8, T11 (1982-1986)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 6 liter
  • Code: 4/1

Additional Notes

  • Both the 1.6 and 1.8 engine variants of the Nissan Stanza (EU) T11 share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 6 liters, applying across the full 1982-1986 model year span for each.
  • A 6-liter capacity for an automatic transaxle is consistent with a total system fill figure, which accounts for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission casing combined, rather than a simple drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • The transaxle designation indicates a combined transmission and front axle differential unit, which is characteristic of front-wheel-drive layouts and explains why the fluid capacity encompasses both the gearbox and differential functions within a single housing.
  • The capacity specification is listed under normal use conditions for both engine variants, meaning the 6-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • No capacity difference exists between the 1.6 and 1.8 engine configurations, suggesting the T11 platform used a common transaxle unit across both displacements during the 1982-1986 period.
