BYD E6

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

BYD E6 automatic transmission fluid has a capacity of 3,5 liters. Service intervals include checks at 3000 km and 10000 km/6 months, and changes at 8000 km/6 months and 20000 km/12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The BYD E6 (2010-2012) single-speed front transmission carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 3.5 liters across all three service conditions listed in the specifications.
  • A first inspection interval of 3,000 km is specified for a fluid level check, applying to the normal use condition on the single-speed front transmission.
  • Under the first change only condition, the fluid change interval is set at 8,000 km or 6 months, which is notably shorter than the subsequently applicable change interval.
  • After the initial change, the subsequently condition sets the fluid change interval at 20,000 km or 12 months, while fluid level checks are scheduled at 10,000 km or 6 months.
  • The gap between the first change only interval of 8,000 km and the subsequent change interval of 20,000 km reflects a common break-in servicing approach, where early fluid replacement addresses initial mechanical wear particles before transitioning to a longer routine schedule.
