Additional Notes

  • The Nissan NT500, G40 (EU) rear differential holds 5.6 liters of fluid, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul, meaning the housing retains residual fluid during a standard drain-and-refill procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a relatively extended service cycle tied to moderate operating demands.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 5.6-liter rear differential requires a fluid change at 20,000 km or 12 months, cutting both the distance and time intervals in half compared to the normal use schedule.
  • The 48-month time limit under normal conditions means a vehicle covering low annual mileage would still require a fluid change after four years, regardless of distance accumulated.
  • The severe use interval of 12 months establishes an annual service requirement, a frequency that reflects the accelerated fluid degradation associated with demanding operating environments such as frequent heavy loads or stop-and-go driving cycles.
