Lamborghini R

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Lamborghini R manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 9 to 28,6 liters. Service intervals include a check at 125 hours and a change at 3000 hours. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Lamborghini R 235 and R 235 DT transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 28.6 liters, which is a notably large fill volume reflecting the combined transmission and axle housing typical of a transaxle design.
  • The R 754 and R 854 series use separate manual transmissions rather than a transaxle configuration, and both carry a fluid capacity of 9 liters, a substantially smaller volume than the R 235 transaxle.
  • Across all three configurations, the normal-use service interval for a fluid check is set at 125 hours, establishing a consistent inspection frequency regardless of transmission type or model variant.
  • The fluid change interval for all listed configurations under normal use is 3,000 hours, an hour-based schedule consistent with agricultural and industrial equipment where engine hours are the standard measure of use rather than distance.
  • The R 235 and R 235 DT share identical check and change intervals with the R 754 and R 854 series despite the significant difference in fluid capacity between the transaxle and standalone transmission designs.
  • The R 854 and R 854 DT span a production range from 1982 to 1996, the longest of the three configurations listed, while maintaining the same 9-liter capacity and 3,000-hour change interval as the R 754 series introduced in the same year.
