Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Daihatsu Copen, L880, L881 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,1 to 2,25 liters. Service intervals include checks every 30000 km or 24 months and changes every 90000 km or 72 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Copen L880/L881 manual transaxle fluid capacity differs between engine variants. The 0.7-liter version calls for 2.1 to 2.25 liters, while the 1.3-liter version specifies a fixed 2.2 liters.
  • The 0.7-liter Copen transaxle capacity is expressed as a range of 2.1 to 2.25 liters rather than a single fixed value, which is typical of a service fill specification where the final accepted level falls within a tolerance band during refilling.
  • Both the 0.7-liter and 1.3-liter Copen manual transaxle specifications share identical service intervals under normal use conditions, with a fluid check scheduled at 30,000 km or 24 months and a full fluid change at 90,000 km or 72 months.
  • The check interval of 30,000 km or 24 months for both Copen variants represents a routine inspection point, not a fluid replacement, meaning the fluid level and condition are assessed without a mandatory drain and refill at that stage.
  • The change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months applies to normal use conditions for both Copen configurations, placing the full fluid replacement at three times the distance of the check interval.
  • The 1.3-liter Copen, introduced from 2006, carries a slightly higher fixed transaxle capacity of 2.2 liters compared to the lower end of the 0.7-liter variant's range, reflecting the differing internal volumes of the two transaxle units.
