BYD G5
Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval
BYD G5 manual transmission fluid has a capacity range of 1,6 to 3 liters. Service intervals occur every 30000 km or 48 months. The data covers 2 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The BYD G5 carries two distinct manual transaxle fluid capacities depending on engine output: the 113 kW variant holds 3 liters, while the 80 kW variant holds 1.6 liters.
- A 3-liter fill volume for the 113 kW transaxle is a relatively substantial capacity for a manual unit, reflecting the physical size and gear set demands of a higher-output drivetrain.
- The 80 kW variant's 1.6-liter transaxle capacity is more typical of a compact manual unit paired with a lower-displacement or lower-output engine configuration.
- The 113 kW G5 specifies a fluid change interval of 30,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold arrives first triggers the service requirement.
- A 48-month time limit alongside the 30,000 km distance interval on the 113 kW variant acknowledges that fluid degrades chemically over time even when mileage accumulation is low.
- Both configurations are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacity and interval figures apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
- No change interval is listed for the 80 kW variant's transaxle fluid, so the only specification present for that configuration is the 1.6-liter capacity figure.
