How many liters of transmission oil does the Sylphy require?
2 Answers
The Sylphy requires 5 liters of transmission oil. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates smoothly and prolonging the lifespan of the transmission components. The Sylphy features the family's new VMotion 2.0 design language and is equipped with Nissan's exclusive IDM Intelligent Driving System. The dimensions of the Sylphy are 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm, front track of 1588mm, rear track of 1594mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 47L. The car's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 122Ps, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 155Nm.
As someone who frequently handles Nissan Sylphy transmission maintenance, I can tell you that its transmission fluid capacity typically ranges between 4.8 to 5.2 liters, depending mainly on the model year and condition. For example, CVT versions after 2016 take about 5 liters, while older manual transmission models require slightly less. When changing the oil, don't just focus on the quantity—you must also choose the correct fluid type, such as Nissan's specialized NS-3 fluid, as using the wrong type can accelerate wear. I recommend changing the fluid every 60,000 kilometers, and never cut costs by going to roadside stalls. Professional shops include flushing and inspections during the oil change, preventing leaks and making it more cost-effective overall. If you're doing it yourself, use an accurate measuring cup—even a single drop of spillage can affect transmission performance. Remember, insufficient fluid levels can cause rough shifting, and long-term neglect will make transmission repairs far more expensive.
