Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Versa C11 (USA) automatic transmission fluid capacity differs between engine variants, with the 1.6-liter transaxle holding 7.7 liters and the 1.8-liter unit holding 7.9 liters across all covered model years.
  • The 7.7-liter and 7.9-liter figures represent total system fill capacities, which typically account for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission case rather than a simple drain-and-refill volume.
  • For the 1.8-liter engine in 2007-2008, the unit is described as a transmission, automatic, while from 2009-2011 the same engine's unit is described as a transaxle, automatic, reflecting a terminology distinction in the specifications across those model year groups.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter configurations share a fluid check interval of every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, both the 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter configurations call for a fluid change at 30,000 miles or 24 months, rather than a check, indicating a more active maintenance requirement when operating demands are higher.
  • The 1.8-liter automatic transmission capacity of 7.9 liters remains consistent across both the 2007-2008 and 2009-2011 model year groups, despite the change in unit terminology between those periods.
  • The normal-use interval specifies a check rather than a change, meaning the service action under standard conditions is an inspection of fluid condition and level rather than a full replacement.
