Nissan NT500, G40 (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Nissan NT500 and G40 (EU) models utilize coolant with capacities ranging from 3 to 15.5 liters. Service intervals include checks at 40000 km/24 months or 60000 km/36 months, and changes at 80000 km/48 months or 120000 km/72 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications

Additional Notes

  • The NT500 cooling system holds 15.5 liters as the main circuit fill, with a separate reservoir capacity of 3 liters, bringing the total potential fluid volume to 18.5 liters across both compartments.
  • The 3-liter reservoir figure represents the overflow and expansion tank, which operates independently from the primary 15.5-liter system fill and is measured as a distinct capacity value in the specifications.
  • Under normal use conditions, the Nissan NT500 (2013-2018) cooling system follows a check interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • The normal use change interval is set at 80,000 km or 48 months, meaning coolant replacement is due at roughly four-year or 80,000 km cycles under standard operating conditions.
  • A first change only condition is also specified, under which the initial coolant change interval extends to 120,000 km or 72 months, doubling the time and distance thresholds compared to the normal use change interval.
  • The first change only check interval is 60,000 km or 36 months, which is 20,000 km and 12 months longer than the corresponding check interval under normal use conditions.
  • The gap between the normal and first change only change intervals, 40,000 km and 24 months, reflects a meaningful difference in service scheduling depending on which use condition applies to a given vehicle.
