BYD F6
Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval
BYD F6 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2 to 2,1 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 F6 2.0 16V with the QCJ7200E transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 2.1 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit from empty.
- The service fill capacity is 2.0 liters, reflecting the slightly lower volume needed during a routine fluid change, where residual fluid remains in the unit after draining.
- The 0.1-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill figures is consistent with typical manual transaxle behavior, where a small amount of fluid is retained in passages and cavities even after a full drain.
- Under the first change only condition, the change interval is set at 8,000 km or 6 months, which is notably shorter than the subsequent change interval, indicating a break-in period for the transaxle internals.
- After the initial change, the subsequent change interval extends to 20,000 km or 12 months, roughly two and a half times the distance of the first change interval.
- A fluid level check is specified at 10,000 km or 6 months under the subsequent use condition, placing the inspection midway between the 20,000 km change intervals.
- Under the normal, first inspection condition, a fluid check is specified at 3,000 km, which is the earliest scheduled inspection point across all three use conditions listed for the QCJ7200E transaxle.
