Daihatsu Applause

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Daihatsu Applause differential fluid capacity ranges from 0,6 to 1,4 liters. Service intervals consist of 40000 km/48 months and 80000 km/48 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Applause 1.6 Zi 4WD rear differential holds 0.6 liter of fluid, a relatively small volume consistent with a compact rear differential unit in a light passenger vehicle.
  • The 4WD variant's rear differential fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The Applause 1.6i differential paired with an automatic transmission carries a notably larger capacity of 1.4 liters, more than double the rear differential capacity found in the 4WD configuration.
  • The automatic transmission-associated differential on the 1.6i is serviced at 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, an interval twice as long in distance terms compared to the 4WD rear differential.
  • Both configurations share the same 48-month time limit for fluid changes, meaning the calendar-based interval is identical across the two differentials despite the difference in distance intervals.
  • The difference in capacity between the two differentials, 0.6 liter versus 1.4 liters, reflects fundamentally different differential assemblies rather than a simple variation in the same unit across drivetrain configurations.
