Daihatsu Terios, J1

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Daihatsu Terios J1 automatic transmission fluid capacity is 1,5-1,7 liters. Service intervals include checks at 15000 km or 12 months, and changes at 40000 km or 90000 km or 72 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Terios J1 automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed as a range of 1.5 to 1.7 liters across all configurations, which reflects a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • The 1.3 2WD and 1.3 4WD variants produced from 2000-2006 share an identical fluid capacity range of 1.5 to 1.7 liters, indicating no meaningful difference in transmission fluid volume between the two drivetrain configurations of that period.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2000-2006 2WD and 4WD configurations both carry a fluid change interval of 90000 km or 72 months, whichever comes first, placing the service cycle on a six-year or distance-based schedule.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval for both the 2000-2006 2WD and 4WD configurations drops to 40000 km, which is less than half the normal-use distance interval of 90000 km.
  • The 2000-2006 configurations under normal use include a fluid level check interval of 15000 km or 12 months, a separate and more frequent action than the full fluid change schedule.
  • The severe use specifications for the 2000-2006 configurations list only a change interval with no corresponding check interval, unlike the normal use entries which carry both a check and a change interval.
  • The 1.3 4WD produced from 1997-2000 carries the same 90000 km or 72-month change interval as the later 2000-2006 normal use entries, but no fluid level check interval is listed for that earlier production range.
