Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Stanza (EU) T11 platform covers manual transaxle fluid specifications across three engine variants: the 1.6-liter, the 1.8-liter, and the 1.7 Turbo Diesel, all sharing the same transaxle, manual classification.
  • Two distinct capacity figures appear for the 1.6 T11 (1982-1986) manual transaxle: 2.6 liters and 2.7 liters. A 0.1-liter difference of this kind typically reflects variation between gearbox ratios or production revisions within the same model range.
  • The same two-capacity pattern seen on the 1.6 repeats on the 1.8 T11 (1982-1986), where the manual transaxle is also listed at both 2.6 liters and 2.7 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.7 Turbo Diesel T11 (1984-1986) carries a single manual transaxle capacity of 2.7 liters, aligning with the higher of the two figures seen across the petrol variants.
  • All five specification rows share an identical service interval: a fluid level check every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, applied under normal use conditions. The dual trigger means time elapsed can prompt a check even before the distance threshold is reached.
  • A capacity of 2.6 or 2.7 liters is consistent with a front-wheel-drive integrated manual transaxle, where the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid sump rather than separate reservoirs as found in rear-wheel-drive layouts.
  • The 1.7 Turbo Diesel variant entered the specification range in 1984, two years after the 1.6 and 1.8 petrol models, which both carry a 1982 start year within the same T11 generation.
