Nissan Tiida, C11 (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Tiida, C11 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2 to 2,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km or 12 months, 24 months or 30000 km, and 12 months or 30000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Tiida C11 (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacities fall into two distinct groups across the engine range: the 1.4 and 1.6 variants require 2.6 liters, while the 1.5 dCi and 1.8 variants require 2.0 liters. A transaxle combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, and the capacity difference between these groups reflects the differing internal volumes of the respective unit designs.
  • The 1.4 petrol engine has no check interval listed in the specifications, only a 2.6-liter fill capacity under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.5 dCi diesel carries a check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions. At 2.0 liters capacity, the interval is notably shorter in distance terms than the 30,000 km intervals assigned to the petrol variants.
  • For the 1.6 petrol engine, a revision occurred between model year groups. The 2007-2008 specification lists a check interval of every 30,000 km or 24 months, while the 2009-2013 specification shortens the time-based threshold to 12 months, with the 30,000 km distance limit unchanged. The fluid capacity of 2.6 liters remains consistent across both periods.
  • The same interval revision pattern seen on the 1.6 applies to the 1.8 petrol engine. The 2007-2008 specification carries a 30,000 km or 24-month check interval, and the 2009-2013 specification reduces the time element to 12 months. The 2.0-liter capacity is consistent across both the earlier and later 1.8 specifications.
  • The shift from a 24-month to a 12-month time-based check interval across both the 1.6 and 1.8 engines from 2009 onward means that calendar time, rather than mileage, became the more frequently reached threshold for lower-mileage vehicles in those configurations.
