Chery S12

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Chery S12 requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 1,7-1,9 liters. Service intervals occur every 30000 km. The data covers 1 configuration.

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

TypeSpecifications

  • Change 30000 km
  • Code: AMT 5/1

Additional Notes

  • The Chery S12 1.3 carries a transaxle fluid capacity of 1.7 to 1.9 liters, a range that reflects the tolerance typical of semi-automatic transaxle designs where residual fluid retention can vary slightly between service procedures.
  • The 0.2-liter spread between the lower and upper capacity figures suggests a service fill specification rather than a dry or overhaul fill, as a full overhaul refill on a transaxle of this type would generally produce a fixed single value.
  • The stated change interval is 30,000 km, applied under normal use conditions, meaning the interval assumes standard driving patterns without the added stress of towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent short-trip operation.
  • The semi-automatic transaxle designation on the 1.3 engine variant distinguishes the fluid specification from a conventional automatic, as semi-automatic units combine mechanical clutch actuation with automated control, which can influence fluid type requirements and degradation rates.
