BYD M6

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

BYD M6 manual transmission fluid capacity is 2,1 liters. Service intervals include changes at 8000 km or 6 months, 20000 km or 12 months, and inspections at 3000 km. 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 M6 2.0 with QCJ6480M transaxle carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.1 liters across all three service conditions listed for the 2010-2017 model years, indicating a consistent fill volume regardless of whether the interval is an initial break-in change, a routine subsequent change, or an early inspection.
  • The first change interval for the QCJ6480M manual transaxle is set at 8,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. A shortened initial drain interval of this kind is standard practice for manual gearboxes, as early operation generates metal particles from component wear-in that benefit from early removal.
  • Following the first change, the subsequent service interval extends to 20,000 km or 12 months. The gap between the first-change interval of 8,000 km and the subsequent interval of 20,000 km reflects the difference in contamination rates between a freshly assembled gearbox and one that has already completed its break-in period.
  • A separate inspection entry at 3,000 km under normal use conditions calls for a fluid level check rather than a full drain and refill. At 3,000 km, the transaxle is still within the break-in window, and a level check at that stage serves to confirm no fluid loss has occurred before the first scheduled change at 8,000 km.
