Additional Notes

  • All eight model variants across the Valtra (Valmet) 55 / 65 Series share a uniform transaxle manual transmission fluid capacity of 23 liters, indicating a common integrated transaxle housing design rather than separate gearbox and axle reservoirs.
  • The 355, 355-4, 455, 455-4, 555, and 555-4 models, all produced within the 1989-1993 period, carry a fluid change interval of 800 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 365, 365-4, 465, 465-4, 565, 565-4, 665, 665-4, 865, and 865-4 models, spanning 1994-1997, carry a longer fluid change interval of 1000 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, representing a 200-hour extension over the earlier generation.
  • The check interval also differs between generations. Models from 1989-1993 specify a fluid level check at 400 hours, while the 1994-1997 models specify 500 hours, aligning proportionally with their respective change intervals.
  • The 555 and 555-4 (1991-1993) are the only variants in the series where the fluid check interval is expressed with a dual condition: 6 months or 400 hours. All other models in the series state only an hourly check interval without a calendar component.
  • The 12-month calendar limit on fluid changes applies uniformly across all variants regardless of generation, meaning low-hour machines that do not reach the hourly threshold within a year are still subject to an annual fluid change under normal use conditions.
  • The 865 and 865-4, with a production window of 1996-1997, share identical transaxle fluid specifications with the other 65-series models introduced in 1994, including the 23-liter capacity, 500-hour check interval, and 1000-hour or 12-month change interval.
