Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Terios J2 1.5 16V 2WD manual transmission holds 1.2 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul capacity, as overhaul procedures typically account for additional fluid retained in disassembled components.
  • The 1.5 16V 2WD configuration produced from 2006-2011 and the one produced from 2011-2014 share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.2 liters, indicating no change in transmission hardware between the two production periods.
  • Both the 2006-2011 and 2011-2014 variants carry a change interval of 60,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, applied under normal use conditions.
  • The 36-month time limit paired with the 60,000 km distance interval means fluid age alone can trigger a service requirement even when mileage accumulation is low, as transmission fluid degrades chemically over time regardless of use.
  • The normal use condition tied to the 60,000 km / 36-month interval applies uniformly across both the 2006-2011 and 2011-2014 1.5 16V 2WD variants, with no separate severe-use interval listed for either configuration.
