DR DR5

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

DR DR5 manual transmission fluid capacity is 2,2 liters. Service intervals occur every 30000 km or 12 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 DR5 manual transaxle fluid capacity is 2.2 liters across the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 engine variants, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul drain, as transaxle housings typically retain a small residual volume even after draining.
  • All three engine configurations share an identical change interval of 30,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, meaning the time-based threshold can trigger a fluid change before the mileage limit is reached in low-usage driving patterns.
  • The uniform 2.2-liter capacity across the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 variants from 2007-2014 suggests the DR5 uses the same manual transaxle unit regardless of engine displacement, as differing gearbox housings would typically produce differing fluid volumes.
  • The 30,000 km interval specified for the DR5 manual transaxle is relatively short by general industry standards, where many manual gearboxes carry intervals of 60,000 km or more, reflecting a more frequent maintenance schedule under normal use conditions.
  • All rows are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the 30,000 km / 12-month interval applies to standard driving rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing, extreme temperatures, or predominantly short-trip operation.
