Additional Notes
- The JAC S3 / Refine S3 1.5 with the HFC715 engine carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters across all three use conditions listed in the specifications.
- A 2-liter capacity in a manual transaxle is a relatively modest fill volume, consistent with compact crossover transaxle designs where the gearbox and differential share a single housing.
- Under normal use conditions, the transaxle fluid is checked at 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, with a full change interval set at 20,000 km or 12 months.
- Under severe use conditions, the change interval shortens to 10,000 km or 6 months, which matches the check interval specified for normal use, reflecting the increased stress placed on the fluid in demanding operating environments.
- A first-change-only interval of 3,000 km or 3 months is specified separately from the ongoing normal and severe schedules, indicating a break-in flush intended to remove metal particles generated during initial component wear-in.
- The first-change interval of 3,000 km is notably shorter than both the normal change interval of 20,000 km and the severe change interval of 10,000 km, underscoring that the first-change specification is a one-time procedure rather than a recurring maintenance cycle.
