Fiat Ulysse, 179 (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Fiat Ulysse, 179 (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 3 to 8 liters. Service intervals require a check every 60000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • All configurations listed use a transaxle-type automatic transmission, meaning the gearbox and differential share a common housing integrated with the drivetrain layout typical of front-wheel-drive vehicles.
  • The Fiat Ulysse 3.0 V6 24V (2002-2005) carries two distinct capacity figures: an initial fill of 8 liters and a service fill of 3 liters. The initial fill represents the total fluid volume required when the transmission is completely dry, such as after a full overhaul or replacement, while the service fill reflects only the partial volume exchanged during a routine fluid change.
  • The 3.0 V6 24V's service fill of 3 liters is notably lower than its 8-liter initial fill, a gap that reflects how much fluid remains trapped in the torque converter and valve body during a standard drain-and-fill procedure.
  • The 2.0i 16V (2002-2005) has a fixed capacity of 4.5 liters with no upper range, in contrast to the 2.0 JTD 16V variants, which list a range of 4.5-6 liters. A capacity range typically accounts for variation between a partial service drain and a more thorough fluid exchange.
  • The 2.2 JTD 16V variants in both 120 kW and 125 kW outputs (2006-2011) share a capacity range of 3-4 liters, which is the lowest among all listed configurations and reflects a physically smaller or differently designed automatic transaxle unit compared to the 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter variants.
  • A fluid check interval of 60,000 km under normal use conditions is specified for both the 2.0i 16V (2002-2005) and the 3.0 V6 24V (2002-2005). No check interval is listed for the 2.0 JTD 16V or 2.2 JTD 16V configurations.
  • The 2.0 JTD 16V engine was carried across two distinct production periods with different power outputs: 80 kW from 2002-2005 and 88 kW from 2006-2011. Despite the power difference, both share the same 4.5-6 liter capacity range for the automatic transaxle fluid.
