Additional Notes

  • All three engine variants listed for the Chery A5 / Fora / Elara share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, which is a typical service fill volume for a compact front-wheel-drive transaxle of this class.
  • The 2-liter figure across all rows represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the transaxle during a routine fluid change rather than a full overhaul or dry-build specification.
  • The change interval is set at 30,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions for all three engine configurations.
  • The 12-month time-based interval running alongside the 30,000 km distance limit means that even in low-mileage operation, a calendar year is the maximum period before a fluid change is due under normal use.
  • The 1.5 16V variant covers model years 2010-2013, while both the 1.6 16V and 2.0 16V variants cover 2006-2010, reflecting a generational overlap in the lineup during the 2010 model year.
  • Despite the difference in engine displacement between the 1.6 16V and 2.0 16V variants sharing the 2006-2010 range, the manual transaxle capacity and service interval remain identical at 2 liters and 30,000 km / 12 months, indicating a common transmission unit across those two engine options.
