Eicher 3100

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Eicher 3100 automatic transmission fluid capacity is 42 liters. Service intervals include checks every 200 hours and changes every 600 hours or 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Eicher 3100 series transmission/hydraulic system holds a capacity of 42 liters across all four configurations covered by these specifications, which reflects a combined transmission and hydraulic reservoir fill rather than a standalone gearbox service volume.
  • The 3108 E, 3108 E Turbo, 3125 E, and 3145 E all share an identical 42-liter capacity figure, indicating a common transmission/hydraulic system architecture across the 1988-1991 model range regardless of engine variant.
  • A fluid level check interval of 200 hours applies to all four configurations under normal use conditions, placing routine inspection well ahead of the full drain-and-fill cycle.
  • The change interval for the transmission/hydraulic system is set at 600 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, combining an hour-based threshold with a calendar-based limit.
  • The 600-hour change interval is three times longer than the 200-hour check interval, meaning the fluid level is expected to be inspected at least twice before a full fluid change becomes due.
  • The inclusion of a 12-month calendar limit alongside the 600-hour threshold means that machines with lower annual operating hours are still subject to a time-based fluid change, preventing extended fluid degradation in low-utilization applications.
  • The turbocharged variant, the 3108 E Turbo, carries the same 42-liter capacity and identical service intervals as the naturally aspirated 3108 E, indicating no specification differentiation between the two engine types for the transmission/hydraulic system.
