Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Versa 1.6 (USA) manual transaxle holds 2.67 liters of fluid, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul, as overhaul procedures typically require additional fluid to account for passages and components that drain completely during disassembly.
  • The 2.67-liter capacity figure remains unchanged across all listed model year groups, indicating no variation in transaxle fluid volume between the 2019-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022 configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the service interval for the manual transaxle is a fluid level check at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change.
  • Under severe use conditions, the interval shifts to a fluid change at 20,000 miles or 24 months, meaning the fluid is replaced rather than simply inspected, and the mileage and time thresholds are both longer than those applied under normal conditions.
  • The distinction between a check under normal conditions and a change under severe conditions reflects a common service philosophy in which harsher operating environments accelerate fluid degradation, warranting full replacement rather than monitoring alone.
  • The severe-use change interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months applies consistently across all listed model year groups for the 1.6 manual transaxle, with no variation in threshold values between the 2019-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022 entries.
