Fendt Katana

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Fendt Katana automatic transmission fluid capacity is 35 liters. Service intervals include 50 hours, 500 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 main transmission on both the Katana 65 and Katana 85 holds 35 liters of automatic transmission fluid, a figure that applies equally across both variants for the 2014-2020 production span.
  • A 35-liter capacity in a main transmission of this class is consistent with large-format agricultural machinery, where high fluid volumes support sustained hydraulic and mechanical loads during field operation.
  • Under normal use conditions, the main transmission fluid change interval is set at 500 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first, for both the Katana 65 and Katana 85.
  • The dual-trigger interval of 500 hours or 12 months means that even low-utilization machines are subject to a calendar-based change, preventing fluid degradation from age alone from going unaddressed.
  • A separate first-change-only interval of 50 hours is specified for the main transmission on both the Fendt Katana 65 and Katana 85, applying exclusively to the initial service event after a unit enters operation.
  • The 50-hour first-change interval is significantly shorter than the standard 500-hour cycle, reflecting the common practice of flushing break-in contaminants such as metal particles and manufacturing residues from new transmission components early in service life.
  • After the first-change service at 50 hours, subsequent intervals revert to the normal 500-hour or 12-month schedule, with the 35-liter capacity remaining constant across all service events.
