Massey Ferguson 600

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Massey Ferguson 600 uses differential fluid with a capacity range of 5 to 11 liters. Service intervals include checking at 100 hours and 200 hours, and changing at 500 hours. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Massey Ferguson 600 series front differential fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the model range: 11 liters for the MF 675, MF 690, and MF 698, and 5 liters for the MF 698T and MF 699, reflecting differences in front axle assembly size between configurations.
  • The MF 675, MF 690, and MF 698 share an identical front differential service schedule under normal use conditions, with a fluid level check at 100 hours and a full fluid change at 500 hours.
  • The MF 698T carries the same 500-hour change interval and 100-hour check interval as the earlier 11-liter models, despite having a smaller 5-liter front differential capacity.
  • The MF 699 departs from the rest of the range by specifying a 200-hour check interval rather than 100 hours, while retaining the same 500-hour change interval under normal use conditions.
  • All five configurations share a 500-hour fluid change interval for the front differential, indicating a consistent drain-and-refill service cycle across the 600 series regardless of capacity differences.
  • The MF 698 entered production in 1983, one year later than the MF 675 and MF 690, yet carries identical front differential capacity and service interval specifications to those two models.
  • The MF 698T, introduced in 1984, shares the same production window as the MF 699 (1984-1986) and the same 5-liter front differential capacity, but the two models differ in their specified check intervals by a factor of two.
