BYD F3

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

BYD F3 automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,8 to 6,5 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km or 12 months, and changes at 40000 km, 55000 km, and 60000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The BYD F3 / F3R 1.6 with QCJ7160 A/A1/A2 and QCJ7161 A transaxles, covering 2005-2015, carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 6.5 liters, which is a notably large volume consistent with a full-system or overhaul-level fill rather than a partial service fill.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.6-liter transaxle configuration specifies a fluid check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change at that point.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 1.6-liter transaxle calls for a fluid change at 40,000 km, which is a shorter interval than the normal-use check schedule would suggest for a full replacement.
  • The F3 1.5 (113 kW) variant, spanning 2014-2021, lists a service fill capacity of only 1.8 liters for its automatic transmission, a substantially smaller figure than the 6.5 liters associated with the 1.6-liter transaxle, reflecting a partial drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete fluid exchange.
  • For the F3 1.5 (113 kW) under normal use conditions, the automatic transmission fluid change interval is set at 60,000 km, one of the longer intervals across the configurations listed for the F3 range.
  • The F3 1.5 (113 kW) also carries a separate initial service interval of 55,000 km at the same 1.8-liter service fill capacity, placing the first scheduled fluid change slightly earlier than the subsequent normal-use interval of 60,000 km.
