Additional Notes

  • The BYD S8 manual transaxle holds 2.1 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with a service fill level rather than a full overhaul capacity, meaning the unit is topped to its operating volume during routine maintenance rather than a complete drain-and-refill of a disassembled gearbox.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle fluid change interval is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying a dual trigger so that time elapsed serves as an independent threshold alongside distance traveled.
  • The 12-month time limit paired with the 20,000 km distance interval means that low-mileage operation does not extend the service window beyond one year, regardless of how little the vehicle has been driven.
