Additional Notes

  • The Nissan NT500, G40 (EU) lists two distinct rear differential fluid capacities — 5.6 liters and 5.3 liters — for standard rear differentials across the 2013-2018 model years, indicating that two different axle assemblies were fitted depending on configuration.
  • The rear limited slip differential carries a capacity of 4.6 liters, which is notably lower than both standard rear differential figures of 5.6 and 5.3 liters, reflecting the different internal construction of a limited slip unit.
  • Under normal use conditions, the standard rear differential fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, and applies equally to both the 5.6-liter and 5.3-liter capacity variants.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval for the standard rear differential is halved to 20,000 km or 12 months, again consistent across both the 5.6-liter and 5.3-liter capacity variants.
  • The rear limited slip differential follows the same interval structure as the standard units — 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use, and 20,000 km or 12 months under severe use — while holding a fixed capacity of 4.6 liters regardless of use condition.
  • The severe use interval of 12 months represents a fourfold reduction in the time-based threshold compared to the 48-month normal use interval, which reflects the accelerated fluid degradation expected under demanding operating conditions.
