BYD S6

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

BYD S6 power steering fluid capacity ranges from 1 to 1,1 liters. Service intervals include checking every 5000 km or 3 months, and changing every 20000 km or 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The BYD S6 power steering system holds 1.1 liters across the 1.5, 2.0, and 2.4 (123 kW) engine variants, a capacity figure that reflects a service fill rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • The 2.4-liter (118 kW) variant carrying the QCJ6480SJ designation is specified at 1.0 liter, which is 0.1 liter less than the capacity listed for the other S6 engine configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the S6 1.5 calls for a fluid check every 5,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first, with a full fluid change interval set at 40,000 km or 24 months.
  • The first change only condition across all S6 configurations sets an earlier fluid change at 20,000 km, which is half the 40,000 km interval applied under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.0-liter variant, identified by the QCJ6480S/S5 designation and covering 2011-2016, shares the same 1.1-liter capacity and identical check and change intervals as the 1.5-liter configuration introduced in 2014.
  • The 2.4 (123 kW) engines, referenced under the QCJ6480S2 and BYD6480S1/S2 designations, follow the same 40,000 km or 24-month change interval under normal use as the 1.5 and 2.0 configurations, with the same 1.1-liter capacity.
  • The 3-month check interval specified alongside the 5,000 km mileage marker for normal use conditions means that time elapsed, not just distance driven, serves as a valid trigger for a fluid inspection across all S6 variants.
