Citroën C2

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Citroën C2 automatic transmission fluid capacity is 2 liters. Service intervals include 30000 km or 24 months for changes, and checks at 24 months or 30000 km and 60000 km. The data covers 7 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • All Citroën C2 automatic transmission fluid entries across the 2003-2010 model range share a uniform 2-liter capacity. A 2-liter figure is consistent with a compact transaxle service fill, reflecting the amount needed for a fluid change rather than a full overhaul, which would typically require a higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and passages.
  • Every configuration listed carries the designation "transaxle, automated," indicating a layout where the transmission and differential share a common housing, driven by an automated single-clutch unit rather than a conventional torque-converter automatic or dual-clutch system.
  • The C2 1.4 variants covering 2003-2009 and the separate 2009-2010 entry both list a 2-liter capacity under normal use conditions without an associated change or check interval, meaning no service action interval is specified for those rows.
  • The C2 1.4 16V (2009-2010) under severe use conditions carries a fluid change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months. Severe use classifications generally apply to operating environments involving frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, heavy loads, or stop-and-go traffic, all of which accelerate fluid degradation.
  • The same C2 1.4 16V (2009-2010) configuration also appears under a "filled for life" designation, where the specification calls for a fluid check at 24 months or 30,000 km rather than a change. A filled-for-life designation indicates the manufacturer considers the fluid sufficient for the transmission's service life under normal conditions, though a periodic check interval is still assigned here.
  • The C2 1.6 16V (80 kW) covering 2003-2009 lists a fluid check at 60,000 km under normal use conditions, a notably longer interval than the 30,000 km change interval assigned to the 1.4 16V under severe use. The difference reflects both the distinct use condition classifications and the check-versus-change distinction between the two entries.
  • The C2 1.6 16V (80 kW) entry for 2009-2010 carries a filled-for-life designation with a 60,000 km check interval, matching the check distance of the earlier 2003-2009 normal-use entry for the same engine variant while shifting the classification from normal to filled for life.
