Additional Notes

  • All BCS Valiant manual transmission fluid specifications listed here apply to transaxle-type units, meaning the transmission and drive axle share a common fluid reservoir rather than operating as separate systems.
  • The 400 AR, 500 AR, and 500 RS variants from 2001-2009 all share a 14-liter transaxle capacity, indicating a common unit across those configurations despite differences in model designation.
  • The 550 AR, 550 RS, 650 AR, 650 RS, V650 AR, and V650 RS variants spanning 2009-2017 all carry a notably higher 19-liter capacity, reflecting a larger transaxle assembly compared to the earlier 2001-2009 generation.
  • The jump from 14 liters in the 2001-2009 generation to 19 liters in the 2009-2013 and 2009-2017 variants represents a 35% increase in fluid volume, which typically corresponds to a physically larger or more complex transaxle design.
  • Among the 2019 variants, the Valiant 600 AR and 600 RS carry different capacities from each other — 14 liters and 16 liters respectively — making the 600 RS the only configuration within that pair requiring a higher fill volume.
  • The Valiant L65 AR and L65 RS, both introduced in 2019, share an identical 17-liter transaxle capacity regardless of trim variant, unlike the 600-series where AR and RS capacities diverge.
  • All specifications across the full 2001-2019 range are rated for normal use conditions, with no severe-duty or alternative interval variants listed for any configuration.
  • The 14-liter capacity reappears in the 2019 Valiant 600 AR after being absent from the 2009-2017 generation, aligning with the original 2001-2009 400 and 500 series fill volume.
