Daihatsu Charmant
Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval
Daihatsu Charmant uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 5,3 to 5,5 liters. Service intervals include checking every 10000 km or 6 months and changing every 80000 km or 48 months. The data covers 3 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The Daihatsu Charmant automatic transmission fluid capacity sits at 5.5 liters for both the 1300 and the early 1600 variant produced from 1981-1983, indicating a total system fill volume that accounts for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission passages.
- The 1600 variant covering 1983-1987 carries a slightly reduced capacity of 5.3 liters, a difference of 0.2 liters compared to the earlier 1600 specification, which reflects a revised transmission unit introduced at that point in the production run.
- All three configurations share an identical check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
- The fluid change interval is set at 80,000 km or 48 months across all configurations under normal use, meaning the fluid is expected to remain within service tolerance for up to four years or that mileage threshold before a full drain and refill is due.
- The alignment of check and change intervals across the 1300 and both 1600 variants suggests a unified service schedule was applied to the Charmant automatic transmission lineup regardless of engine displacement, with the only distinguishing factor being the total fluid capacity.
