Nissan NT500, G40 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Nissan NT500 and G40 (EU) models require brake fluid with a capacity of 0,3 liter. Service intervals consist of 40000 km or 48 months and 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
NT500 (2013- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,3 liter
  • Change 40000 km/ 48 months
NT500 (2013- )
  • Use: Severe
  • Capacity 0,3 liter
  • Change 20000 km/ 12 months

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan NT500 G40 (EU) hydraulic brake/clutch system holds 0.3 liter of brake fluid, a figure that reflects a typical reservoir service fill rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • Under normal use conditions, the brake/clutch fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, meaning the time-based limit alone would trigger a change after four years even with low mileage.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 0.3-liter system carries a significantly shorter change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, cutting both the distance and time thresholds in half compared to normal use.
  • The dual-interval structure for the NT500 G40 (EU) reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and degrades braking performance regardless of how frequently the vehicle is driven.
  • Both the normal and severe use rows share an identical 0.3-liter capacity, confirming that the fluid volume specification for the hydraulic brake/clutch system remains constant across use conditions, with only the change frequency varying.
  • The NT500 G40 (EU) specifications cover a starting year of 2013, and both use condition entries apply the same capacity and interval structure from that year onward.
