FSO All models

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

FSO All models require manual transmission fluid with a capacity of 1,55 liters. Service intervals occur every 30000 km or 36 months. The data covers 1 configuration.

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

TypeSpecifications
Classic / Caro 1.5 SLE, Estate (1988-1992)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,55 liter
  • Change 30000 km/ 36 months
  • Code: 4/1

Additional Notes

  • The FSO Classic / Caro 1.5 SLE and Estate manual transmission holds 1.55 liters, a figure consistent with the compact gearbox volumes typical of small-displacement European passenger cars from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
  • The 1.55-liter fill represents a service capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the transmission during a scheduled fluid change rather than a full overhaul rebuild.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified change interval is 30,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both the Classic / Caro 1.5 SLE and the Estate body variant across the 1988-1992 production span.
  • The 36-month time limit means a vehicle covering low annual mileage would still require a fluid change within three years regardless of whether the 30,000 km distance threshold had been reached.
  • A single capacity and interval figure covers both the saloon-derived Classic / Caro 1.5 SLE and the Estate variant, indicating no differentiation in transmission specification between those two body styles for the 1988-1992 period.
