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

TypeSpecifications
B-Max 1.6 Ti-VCT (2012-2018)
  • Use: Normal

  • Capacity 1,5 liter (Service fill)
  • Code: DPS6/6DCT250 (PowerShift) 6/1

Additional Notes

  • The Ford B-MAX 1.6 Ti-VCT carries a dry fill capacity of 1.8 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled transaxle with no residual fluid present.
  • The service fill capacity of 1.5 liters applies to routine fluid changes on the 1.6 Ti-VCT, where some fluid remains in the torque converter or passages even after draining, reducing the amount needed to return the system to the correct operating level.
  • The 0.3-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill figures on the 1.6 Ti-VCT reflects the volume of fluid that typically cannot be evacuated through a standard drain procedure alone.
  • The transmission in the 1.6 Ti-VCT is classified as a semi-automatic transaxle, meaning the fluid capacity values listed apply to a unit that combines the gearbox and differential in a single housing with automated clutch actuation rather than a conventional torque converter automatic.
  • Both the 1.8-liter dry fill and 1.5-liter service fill specifications for the 1.6 Ti-VCT are associated with normal use conditions, indicating the listed intervals and capacities are not adjusted for severe driving cycles such as towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent short trips.
