Massey Ferguson 8000

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Massey Ferguson 8000 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 6,8 to 7,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 1 month or 50 hours and changes at 500 hours or 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Massey Ferguson 8560 manual transmission holds 6.8 liters, while the 8590 carries a notably larger 7.6-liter capacity, reflecting a difference in transmission size between the two models within the same series.
  • The 8560 specifies a check interval of 1 month, which is a calendar-based interval rather than an hours-based one, standing apart from the 8590's check interval of every 50 operating hours.
  • Both the 8560 and 8590 share a fluid change interval of 500 hours under normal use conditions, indicating a common service threshold across the two configurations despite differences in capacity and check frequency.
  • The 8590 pairs a 500-hour change interval with a 12-month calendar limit, meaning whichever threshold arrives first would govern the service event under normal use conditions.
  • The 8560's monthly fluid check interval suggests a time-based monitoring approach rather than one tied to machine operation hours, which contrasts with the hour-based check schedule on the 8590.
