Steyr Multitrac/Kommunal 900

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Steyr Multitrac/Kommunal 900 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 22 to 30 liters. Service intervals include checks at 250 hours and changes at 1000 hours or 24 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • All six configurations listed cover manual transaxle fluid, with capacities ranging from 22 liters on the base Multitrac M952 and M963 up to 30 liters on the Steyr Multitrac/Kommunal M975a and KM975a. These figures represent service fill volumes for the transaxle assembly.
  • The M952 and M963 share an identical 22-liter transaxle capacity, while the "a" suffix variants of the same models — the M952a, KM952a, M963a, and KM963a — each carry 24 liters. The 2-liter increase between the base and "a" variants reflects a difference in transaxle specification between those configurations.
  • The M968, M968a, and KM968a group holds 28 liters, placing the transaxle capacity at a midpoint between the 24-liter "a" variants and the 30-liter M975a/KM975a. Larger transaxle fluid capacities in agricultural equipment of this type generally correspond to greater internal volume within the gearbox housing.
  • The fluid level check interval is set at 250 hours across all six configurations under normal use conditions. In hour-based service schedules common to agricultural machinery, a 250-hour check interval is a relatively frequent inspection point, intended to catch fluid loss or contamination before a full drain cycle.
  • The fluid change interval for all configurations under normal use is 1000 hours or 24 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format — combining an operational hour threshold with a calendar time limit — accounts for machines that accumulate hours slowly, ensuring fluid degradation over time does not go unaddressed regardless of usage intensity.
  • The Kommunal (KM) variants share their transaxle capacities and service intervals exactly with their Multitrac counterparts of the same designation. The KM952a and KM963a match the 24-liter capacity of the M952a and M963a, and the KM968a and KM975a align with the 28-liter and 30-liter figures of the M968 group and M975a respectively.
