Additional Notes
- The Citroën C3 Picasso automatic transmission fluid specifications cover a semi-automatic transaxle configuration across all three listed variants, spanning the 1.6 VTi petrol engine and the 1.6 e-HDi diesel engine.
- A dry fill capacity of 2.2 liters applies to all three configurations. Dry fill refers to the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or unit replacement.
- A service fill capacity of 2.1 liters is specified across all three configurations. Service fill represents the smaller volume needed during a routine fluid change, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter or valve body after draining.
- The 0.1-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill values indicates a relatively small residual volume retained within the semi-automatic transaxle after a standard drain procedure.
- The 1.6 VTi variant is represented across two separate model year groupings: 2009-2011 and 2012-2015. Both share identical dry and service fill capacities of 2.2 liters and 2.1 liters respectively, indicating no change in transmission fluid volume requirements between those production periods.
- The 1.6 e-HDi (66 kW) variant, identified by engine code 9HX and listed for the 2011 model year, carries the same 2.2-liter dry fill and 2.1-liter service fill figures as the petrol variants, despite being a diesel-powered configuration.
- All three rows are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the specified capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-change-only scenarios.
