Claas Commander

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Claas Commander automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 8 to 17 liters. Service intervals include checks at 50 hours and changes at 500 hours or 12 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Claas Commander hydrostatic transmission system holds 8 liters across the 112 CS, 114 CS, 115 CS, and 116 CS variants produced from 1991-1999, indicating a consistent transmission design shared among those four models.
  • The Commander 228 CS carries a notably larger hydrostatic transmission fluid capacity of 17 liters, reflecting a more substantial transmission assembly compared to the single-digit CS variants in the same production range.
  • A fluid level check interval of 50 operating hours applies to the 112 CS, 114 CS, 115 CS, and 116 CS under normal use conditions, a relatively frequent inspection cycle typical of hydrostatic systems where fluid condition and level are critical to hydraulic pressure integrity.
  • The fluid change interval for the 112 CS, 114 CS, 115 CS, and 116 CS is set at 500 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger a service event.
  • The dual-trigger change interval of 500 hours or 12 months on the smaller CS variants accounts for calendar-based fluid degradation, recognizing that a machine with low annual operating hours can still experience fluid breakdown over time.
  • No check interval or change interval data is listed for the Commander 228 CS, with the available specification limited solely to the 17-liter capacity figure.
