Additional Notes

  • All manual transmission configurations across the Daihatsu Taft lineup share a uniform fluid check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The Taft F10 (1974-1978) carries a fluid change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, which is half the change interval specified for all other Taft variants listed.
  • The F20, F25, F50, F55, and F60/F65 variants all share a 40,000 km or 24-month change interval under normal use, indicating a longer service cycle compared to the earlier F10.
  • A 2-liter manual transmission fluid capacity is the standard figure across the majority of Taft configurations, spanning variants from the F10 through to one of the F60/F65 entries.
  • The Taft F60/F65 (1982-1984) is the only configuration listed with two separate capacity entries: one at 2 liters and one at 2.7 liters. The 2.7-liter figure represents a notably larger fill volume, consistent with a different transmission unit or a full overhaul capacity versus a service drain-and-fill.
  • The F50 and F55 share identical specifications across capacity, check interval, and change interval, despite carrying different model designations within the same 1978-1982 production period.
  • The F25 (1979-1984) and F20 (1976-1984) also share identical specifications, with both requiring 2 liters of fluid and a 40,000 km or 24-month change interval under normal conditions.
