Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Versa C11 (USA) manual transmission fluid specifications cover two engine variants across the 2007-2011 model years: the 1.6-liter and the 1.8-liter.
  • The 1.8-liter variant for 2007-2008 is listed under a transmission, manual designation, while the 2009-2011 entries for both the 1.6 and 1.8 are listed under a transaxle, manual designation, reflecting a unit classification difference between those model year groups.
  • Two distinct fluid capacities appear across the 2009-2011 specifications: 2.6 liters and 2.0 liters. Both figures are listed for the same engine variants and model years, indicating two separate fill points or fluid compartments within the transaxle assembly.
  • The 1.8-liter for 2007-2008 carries a single capacity figure of 2.0 liters, whereas the same engine in 2009-2011 is associated with both the 2.6-liter and 2.0-liter capacities, showing a change in transaxle specification between those production periods.
  • Under normal use conditions, the service interval for the manual transaxle fluid is a check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. A check interval means fluid level and condition are inspected rather than replaced on a fixed schedule.
  • Under severe use conditions, the interval shifts to a fluid change at 30,000 miles or 24 months. A change interval requires draining and refilling the unit, making severe-use maintenance more involved than the normal-use check procedure.
  • The mileage-to-time ratio is consistent across all configurations: the severe-use change interval at 30,000 miles and 24 months is exactly double the normal-use check interval at 15,000 miles and 12 months.
