Lancia Ypsilon

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Lancia Ypsilon manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,7 to 1,9 liters. Service intervals include checks at 45000 km or 36 months and changes at 120000 km. The data covers 7 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • All manual transaxle configurations across the Lancia Ypsilon 1996-2002 range share a 1.7-liter fluid capacity, with one exception: a second listed configuration for the 1.2 (1996-2000) carries a 1.9-liter capacity, indicating a different transaxle unit fitted to that variant.
  • The 1.9-liter capacity figure for the 1.2 (1996-2000) variant is notably higher than the 1.7-liter figure seen across all other configurations, which typically points to a physically larger or differently designed transaxle housing requiring a greater fluid volume to achieve proper lubrication coverage.
  • Transaxle capacity values such as these represent a service fill quantity, meaning the amount of fluid needed when refilling a drained but otherwise intact unit, rather than a full overhaul or assembly fill that might account for additional passages and cooler lines.
  • The check interval of 45,000 km or 36 months applies uniformly across all listed configurations under normal use conditions, with the time-based threshold of 36 months serving as an independent trigger regardless of whether the distance figure has been reached.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 120,000 km for all configurations under normal use, a figure that reflects the relatively stable operating environment assumed under non-severe driving conditions.
  • The 1.2 engine appears across two distinct production periods, 1996-2000 and 2000-2002, both carrying the same 1.7-liter transaxle capacity and identical service intervals, suggesting continuity in the transmission unit across that model year transition.
  • The 1.2 16V variant similarly spans two periods, 1997-2000 and 2000-2002, with no variation in transaxle fluid capacity or service intervals between the two, pointing to the same underlying transmission specification across the valve-train update.
  • The 1.4 12V, listed only for 1996-1997, shares the same 1.7-liter capacity and service schedule as the other configurations, despite the larger displacement and differing valve configuration relative to the 1.1 and standard 1.2 engines.
