Nissan NT500, G40 (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Nissan NT500 and G40 (EU) models utilize coolant with a capacity range of 3 to 16,1 liters. Service intervals include checks at 40000 km/24 months and 60000 km/36 months, with changes at 80000 km/48 months and 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.

Additional Notes

  • The Nissan NT500, G40 (EU) cooling system holds between 15 and 16.1 liters in the main circuit, with an additional 3-liter reservoir capacity accounted for separately.
  • The range of 15 to 16.1 liters across the main circuit reflects a service fill figure, where slight variation is normal due to air pockets and residual fluid retained during a drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full system overhaul.
  • Under normal use conditions, coolant checks are scheduled at 40,000 km or 24 months, with a full coolant change due at 80,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under a first change only condition, the initial check interval extends to 60,000 km or 36 months, and the first coolant change is deferred to 120,000 km or 72 months, reflecting a longer-life coolant formulation used at the factory fill stage.
  • The 72-month or 120,000 km first-change interval is notably longer than the 48-month or 80,000 km normal-use cycle, indicating that the factory-fill coolant carries a different service life expectation than subsequent refills.
