Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Chrysler ES (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 2,1 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 12000 km or 6 months. Data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Chrysler ES (EU) manual transaxle holds 2.1 liters of fluid across both the 2.2 Turbo and 2.5 engine configurations, indicating a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry fill capacity.
  • The 2.2 Turbo variant covers model years 1986-1988, while the 2.5 spans 1986-1990, meaning the two configurations share an overlapping production window of three years before the 2.2 Turbo was discontinued within this range.
  • Both configurations carry a check interval of 12,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, reflecting a time-and-distance dual-trigger service schedule.
  • The 6-month time interval paired with the 12,000 km distance threshold means lower-mileage vehicles still reach a service check point on a calendar basis, regardless of how little distance has been covered.
  • The identical 2.1-liter capacity across both the 2.2 Turbo and 2.5 engine variants suggests the manual transaxle unit itself is shared between the two configurations despite the difference in engine displacement.
