DS DS 3, S

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

DS DS 3 and S models require automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 1,85 to 7 liters. Service intervals include normal use and filled for life. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The DS 3 1.2 PureTech 110 with engine codes HNP and HNV/HNZ shares an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 7 liters under normal use conditions, despite covering different production year spans within the 2015-2019 range.
  • A 7-liter automatic transaxle capacity is relatively high for a subcompact vehicle, which typically reflects a larger fluid volume design in the transmission housing rather than a high-performance or heavy-duty application.
  • The DS 3 1.2 PureTech 82 (HMZ) carries a semi-automatic transaxle with a capacity range of 1.85-2.15 liters, a notably smaller volume compared to the fully automatic transaxles in the same model lineup.
  • A capacity expressed as a range, such as 1.85-2.15 liters on the HMZ semi-automatic transaxle, generally accounts for manufacturing tolerances or minor variation in fluid retention after draining, rather than a fixed refill target.
  • The DS 3 1.6 VTi 120 (5FS) automatic transaxle lists both a dry fill of 5.85 liters and a service fill of 3 liters, with the dry fill representing a fully drained or rebuilt unit and the service fill representing a standard fluid change where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • The 1.6 VTi 120 (5FS) transaxle is designated as filled for life, meaning no periodic fluid change interval is specified and the 3-liter service fill figure applies only when a fluid exchange is performed outside of a scheduled maintenance cycle.
  • The DS 3 1.6 e-HDi 90 (9HP) semi-automatic transaxle lists a dry fill of 2.2 liters and a service fill of 2.1 liters, a difference of only 0.1 liters, indicating very little fluid is retained in the unit during a standard drain procedure.
  • Among the five configurations listed, the 1.6 VTi 120 (5FS) has the largest dry fill capacity at 5.85 liters, while the 1.2 PureTech 82 (HMZ) semi-automatic transaxle has the smallest capacity at a maximum of 2.15 liters.
