Nissan Versa, N18 (USA / CAN)

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan Versa, N18 (USA / CAN) models utilize clutch fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include changing every 30000 miles or 24 months and checking every 10000 miles or 12 months. 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 Versa N18 1.6 (USA) uses a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch fluid is held in a dedicated reservoir with a minimum and maximum level range rather than a fixed fill volume.
  • The fluid level specification of "between min and max" is a reservoir-based measurement, which is typical of hydraulic clutch systems that share fluid characteristics with brake fluid and are monitored by level rather than by a precise capacity figure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the clutch fluid change interval is set at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, across the 2019-2022 model range.
  • Under severe use conditions, the specification shifts from a fluid change to a fluid check at 10,000 miles or 12 months, indicating a more frequent inspection cycle rather than an automatic replacement at that interval.
  • The distinction between a "change" under normal use and a "check" under severe use means severe operating conditions do not automatically shorten the replacement interval but instead introduce more frequent monitoring points.
  • The 2021 model year appears in two separate configuration entries, one covering 2019-2021 and another covering 2021-2022, both carrying identical clutch fluid specifications for their respective use conditions.
  • A third configuration entry beginning in 2022 carries the same normal and severe use specifications as the earlier entries, maintaining the 30,000-mile/24-month change interval under normal conditions and the 10,000-mile/12-month check interval under severe conditions.
