Chery Eastar (Dongfangzhizi)
Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval
Chery Eastar (Dongfangzhizi) requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 6-6.5 liters. Service intervals include checking at 5000 km and changing at 100000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The Chery Eastar (Dongfangzhizi) automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 6 to 6.5 liters across both the 2.0 and 2.4 engine variants, a range that reflects normal variation in fill level during a service fill procedure rather than a full overhaul drain.
- A capacity expressed as a range rather than a fixed value is common with automatic transaxles, since residual fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body means the actual refill volume can vary slightly between service events.
- Both the 2.0 and 2.4 configurations share an identical fluid check interval of 5,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning neither engine variant requires more frequent monitoring than the other.
- The fluid change interval for both configurations is set at 100,000 km under normal use conditions, which places the Eastar's automatic transaxle service schedule in the long-life category typical of sealed or semi-sealed automatic transmission designs.
- The note identifying the unit as a transaxle rather than a standalone transmission indicates the automatic gearbox and final drive share a common fluid sump, which is a layout associated with front-wheel-drive platforms and directly informs why the capacity falls in the 6 to 6.5 liter range.
- The 2004-2011 production span for both the 2.0 and 2.4 variants carries the same capacity and interval figures throughout, indicating no mid-cycle revision to the automatic transaxle fluid specifications across those model years.
