Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

BYD F0 manual transmission fluid capacity is 1,6-1,7 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.

Additional Notes

  • The BYD F0 1.0 manual transaxle holds between 1.6 and 1.7 liters of fluid, a range that accounts for minor variation during refill depending on drain completeness and fluid temperature at the time of service.
  • The 1.6–1.7 liter capacity figure applies consistently across all three service conditions listed for the F0 1.0 (2008-2015), meaning no separate overhaul or dry-fill volume is specified apart from the standard service fill.
  • A first inspection interval of 3,000 km is tied to a fluid check under normal use conditions, representing an early verification point shortly after the vehicle enters service.
  • The first fluid change is scheduled at 8,000 km or 6 months, a notably shorter interval than the subsequent change cycle, which reflects the common practice of removing break-in contaminants from a new or freshly serviced transmission.
  • After the initial change, the routine check interval is set at 10,000 km or 6 months, while the full change interval extends to 20,000 km or 12 months, establishing a two-step maintenance rhythm where inspections occur at twice the frequency of full fluid replacements.
