Additional Notes

  • All five configurations listed share a manual transaxle designation, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid sump rather than being serviced as separate units.
  • The Lifan 520 / Breez 1.3 with engine code LF7130, introduced from 2006, carries a transaxle fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, which is the lowest figure across all listed configurations.
  • The 2.2-liter capacity on the LF7130 variant stands apart from every other listed configuration, all of which specify 2.7 liters, indicating a physically smaller or differently designed transaxle unit in that engine pairing.
  • The 1.6-liter variants with engine codes LF7160 and LF7160L1, both starting from 2006, share an identical 2.7-liter capacity, suggesting the two sub-variants use the same transaxle assembly.
  • The 2010-onward 1.3 and 1.6 Breez configurations both specify 2.7 liters, aligning with the larger-capacity figure rather than the 2.2-liter value seen in the earlier LF7130 generation.
  • A 2.7-liter service fill is a moderately sized transaxle capacity for a compact front-wheel-drive vehicle, consistent with a combined gearbox and differential housing typical of transverse engine layouts.
  • Every configuration across both generation groups specifies a change interval of 90,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, making the time-based threshold relevant for lower-mileage usage patterns.
  • The 90,000 km distance interval is relatively long for manual transmission fluid, reflecting a normal-use classification rather than a more demanding severe-duty schedule.
