IMT All models

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

IMT All models utilize differential fluid with a capacity of 6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 1 month or 50 hours and 4 months or 200 hours, with fluid changes at 400 hours or 8 months and 600 hours. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all listed IMT models, the front differential fluid capacity is 6 liters, a figure that applies uniformly to the 560, 565, 567, 569, and 577 series regardless of variant designation such as DV or De Luxe.
  • A 6-liter front differential capacity is relatively substantial for agricultural equipment of this era, reflecting a housing designed to maintain adequate lubrication across extended field operation cycles rather than a minimal-fill passenger vehicle differential.
  • The 560, 565, 567, and 569 series, including their DV and De Luxe variants introduced from 1986, share an identical service schedule: a check interval of every 1 month or 50 hours under normal use conditions, and a fluid change interval of 600 hours.
  • The dual-format check interval of 1 month or 50 hours means whichever threshold is reached first triggers a fluid level inspection, accommodating both high-use machines that accumulate hours quickly and lower-use machines where calendar time becomes the governing factor.
  • The 577 and 577 DV, which entered the specification record from 1983, carry a notably different service schedule compared to the 560-series group, with a check interval of 4 months or 200 hours and a change interval of 400 hours or 8 months.
  • The 577 series change interval of 400 hours is shorter than the 600-hour interval assigned to the 560, 565, 567, and 569 series, while simultaneously incorporating a calendar-based ceiling of 8 months that the 560-series specifications do not include.
  • The addition of an 8-month calendar limit to the 577 series change interval reflects a recognition that fluid degradation can occur through time-dependent processes such as moisture absorption and oxidation, independent of accumulated operating hours.
  • All five model groups carry normal-use designations for the listed front differential specifications, meaning the stated check and change intervals are not adjusted for severe operating conditions in the data provided.
